Introduction
The world of computer networks and data communications would not exist if there were no medium by which to transfer data.
The two major categories of media include: • Conducted media• Wireless media

Twisted Pair Wire
Two or more pairs of single conductor wires that have been twisted around each other.
Twisted pair wire is classified by category. Twisted pair wire is currently Category 1 through Category 6.
Twisting the wires helps to eliminate electromagnetic interference between the two wires.
Shielding can further help to eliminate interference.

Coaxial Cable
A single wire wrapped in a foam insulation surrounded by a braided metal shield, then covered in a plastic jacket. Cable can be thick or thin.
Baseband coaxial technology uses digital signaling in which the cable carries only one channel of digital data.
Broadband coaxial technology transmits analog signals and is capable of supporting multiple channels of data.

Fiber Optic Cable
A thin glass cable approximately a little thicker than a human hair surrounded by a plastic coating and packaged into an insulated cable.
A photo diode or laser generates pulses of light which travel down the fiber optic cable and are received by a photo receptor.
![Page 12: Media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/556a1e6ad8b42a2f3f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Fiber Optic Cable
Two biggest problems with fiber is reflection and refraction.
Glass core
Cladding
Index of refraction = cos(A) / cos(B)If < 1 then less optically dense mediumIf > 1 then more optically dense medium

13
Fiber Optic Cable
The cladding is less dense than the core, thus causing the light to reflect back into the core.
Core
Cladding

14
Fiber Optic Cable
Thick cable (62.5/125 micron) causes more ray collisions, so you have to transmit slower. This is step index multimode fiber. Typically use LED for light source, shorter distance transmissions
Better – graded index multimode fiber – no clear difference between core and cladding
Best – single mode fiber – very thin (8.3/125 microns) – very little reflection, fast transmission, typically uses a laser, longer distance transmissions

Wireless Media
Radio, satellite transmissions, and infrared light are all different forms of electromagnetic waves that are used to transmit data.
Note in the following figure how each source occupies a different set of frequencies.

Terrestrial Microwave
Land-based, line-of-sight transmission
Approximately 20-30 miles maximum between towers
Transmits data at hundreds of millions of bits per second
Popular with telephone companies and business to business transmissions
![Page 22: Media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/556a1e6ad8b42a2f3f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Often the microwave antennas are on towers and buildings.
Distance between towers d = 7.14 * SQRT(K * h) where K is an adjustment factor, usually 1.33 and h = tower height. (Two 100 m towers can be 82 km apart.)

Satellite Microwave
Similar to terrestrial microwave except the signal travels from a ground station on earth to a satellite and back to another ground station.
L band – mobile communicationsC band – TV, VSATKu band - HDTVKa band -
Satellites can be classified by how far out into orbit each one is (LEO, MEO, GEO, and HEO).

27
Satellite Microwave
LEO - Low Earth Orbit - 100 miles to 1000 miles. Used for pagers, wireless e-mail, special mobile telephones, spying, videoconferencing.
MEO - Middle Earth Orbit - 1000 to 22,300 miles. Used for GPS and government.
GEO - Geosynchronous Orbit - 22,300 miles. Used for weather, television, and government operations.

28
Satellite Microwave
HEO – Highly Elliptical Orbit
A fourth type of orbit used by the military for spying and by scientific organizations for photographing celestial bodies.
When satellite is far out into space, it takes photos. When satellite is close to earth, it transmits data.

Mobile Telephone
Wireless telephone service, such as cellular telephone, cell phone, and PCS.
To support multiple users in a metropolitan area (market), the market is broken into cells.
Each cell has its own transmission tower and set of assignable channels.

Cellular Digital Packet Data
Technology that supports a wireless connection for the transfer of computer data from a mobile location to the public telephone network and the Internet.
Can be used in conjunction with mobile telephones and laptop computers.
All digital transfer but relatively slow at 19,200 bps.
Emergency services make use of CDPD.

Pagers
Typically one-way communication service that uses ground-based and sometimes satellite-based systems.
Some systems are two-way.
Some systems can transmit small text messages.

Infrared Transmissions
Special transmissions that use a focused ray of light in the infrared frequency range.
Very common with remote control devices, but can also be used for device-to-device transfers, such as PDA to computer.
Will infrared last?

51
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a Radio Frequency specification for short-range, point-to-multipoint voice and data transfer.
Bluetooth can transmit through solid, non-metal objects.
Its typical link range is from 10 cm to 10 m, but can be extended to 100 m by increasing the power.

WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)
WAP allows wireless devices such as mobile telephones, PDAs, pagers, and two-way radios to access the Internet.
WAP is designed to work with small screens and with limited interactive controls.
WAP incorporates Wireless Markup Language (WML) which is used to specify the format and presentation of text on the screen.

54
WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)
WAP may be used for applications such as:- travel directions- sports scores- e-mail- online address books- traffic alerts- banking- news
Possible short-comings of WAP include low speeds, security, and a very small user interface.

Broadband Wireless Systems
Two basic technologies:
Multichannel multipoint distribution service (MMDS) – supports digital data, video, Internet access, millions bps, 2.5 GHz, 30-35 miles
Local multipoint distribution service (LMDS) – digital data, video, Internet access, millions bps, 28 GHz – 30 GHz, but only a few miles
![Page 59: Media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/556a1e6ad8b42a2f3f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
59
Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)
This technology transmits data between workstations and local area networks using high speed radio frequencies.
Current technologies (and protocols) allow up to 54 Mbps data transfer at distances up to hundreds of feet.
![Page 60: Media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/556a1e6ad8b42a2f3f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

Free Space Optics
Uses lasers, or more economically infrared transmitting devices
Line of sight between buildings
Typically short distances, such as across the street
Newer auto-tracking systems keep lasers aligned when buildings shake from wind, transportation going by
Current FSO speeds go from T-3 (45Mbps) up to OC-48 (2.5Gbps) with faster systems in the lab
![Page 63: Media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/556a1e6ad8b42a2f3f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
Free Space Optics
Major weakness is fog.
A typical FSO has a link margin of about 20 dB.
Under perfect conditions air reduces a system’s power by approx 1 dB/km.
Heavy fog can cause a loss of 400 dB/km (rendering 20 dB system to 50 meters.
Scintillation is also a problem (especially in hot weather).
![Page 64: Media](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/556a1e6ad8b42a2f3f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
Ultra-Wideband
UWB not limited to a fixed bandwidth but broadcasts over a wide range of frequencies simultaneously.
Many of these frequencies are used by other sources, but UWB uses such low power that it “should not” interfere with these other sources.
Can achieve speeds up to 100 Mbps (unshared) but for small distances such as a wireless LAN.

Ultra-Wideband
Proponents say UWB gets something for nothing, since it shares frequencies with other sources. Opponents say too much interferences.
Cell phone industry really against UWB because CDMA most susceptible to interference.
GPS (also uses CDMA) may be affected by UWB.
One solution may be to have one type of system indoors (stronger signals) and another type outdoors (1/10 the power).

Conducted Media Example
How do we wire a local area network?
Remember : using Category 5 unshielded twisted pair, the maximum segment length is 100 meters.
A wall jack is a passive device and does not regenerate a signal.
Hub to hub connections are often fiber optic cable.

Wireless Media Example
Cost is proportional to high amount of traffic with very high reliability.
Speed is high enough to support company’s needs.
Distance can easily expand across the U.S.
Satellite systems are robust in most environments.
Security can be very good with encryption.
