APPLICATION OF COMPUTER NETWORKS 1.BUSINESS 2.HOME OR MOBILE APPLICATION 1.

BUSINESS If your business has more than one computer, chances are you could benefit from networking them. A local area network (LAN) connects your company's computers, allowing them to share and exchange a variety of information. While one computer can be useful on its own, several networked computers can Here are some of the ways a computer network can help your business: 1.1. File sharing: Have you ever needed to access a file stored on another computer? A network makes it easy for everyone to access the same file and prevents people from accidentally creating different versions.Printer sharing: If you use a computer, chances are you also use a printer. With a network, several computers can share the same printer. Although you might need a more expensive printer to handle the added workload, it's still cheaper to use a network printer than to connect a separate printer to every computer in your office. 1.2. Communication and collaboration: It's hard for people to work together if no one knows what anyone else is doing. A network allows employees to share files, view other people's work, and exchange ideas more efficiently. In a larger office, you can use e-mail and instant messaging tools to communicate quickly and to store messages for future reference. 1.3. Organization: A variety of scheduling software is available that makes it possible to arrange meetings without constantly checking everyone's schedules. This software usually includes other helpful features, such as shared address books and to-do lists.

1.4.distributed computing: One application of a computer network in a field is distributed computing. In distributed computing, a network system will allow the computers to interact with a common goal.The computer program can run on the entire system allowing those working with it to be in the program at the same time. It can allow for many tasks to be divided up. Computer science may use a computer network in a different way. There are many sub-fields to computer science such as computational complexity theory. The point is that in each of these categories you will have a different use for a computer network. It may be so that you and another person can share information in order to write a program. It may also be so that you can network with other computers in the event that something needs to be fixed in one go, all at once. 1.5. IT support: IT support departments are a good example of how a computer network can work to your advantage. In an IT department, a network of computers can communicate with each other. If the person working on one computer has an issue they can call the IT department. The person in the department can log-in as the administrator for the computer and actually take over that computer. They can move the mouse on the screen, open applications, and work to solve the problem. The IT department does not have to be in the same state or even the same country. It can all be done via the network connection on the computer system. All other computer science fields have the same basic principle, in that a computer network allows for better communication within a system. This can be useful in instances such as running a program without any human interaction or the user remotely interacting with a computer some distance away. 1.6.Access to Remote Information: Access to remote information occurs in many forms. One of the areas where it is happening is access to the financial institutions. Many people pay their bills,

Another application that falls under this category is the access to information systems like World Wide Web which contains information about art, business, history, government, geography, economics and several other topics. All the above applications involve the interaction between the user and a remote database. 1.7.Person to Person Communication: Electronic Mail popularly known as email is widely used by millions of people to send text messages, photographs audio as well as video to other people or group of people. This application belongs to person to person communication category. Videoconferencing is also becoming popular these days. This technology makes it possible to have virtual meetings among far flung people. It is also a type of person to person communication. 1.8.Interactive Entertainment: These days we can see many live programmes and shows. The best thing is that we can interact with them by participating in the quizzes and the contests organized by them.

2.1.Wireless radio: Further information: Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and HomeRF One of the most common ways of creating a home network is by using wireless radio signal technology; the 802.11 network as certified by the IEEE. Most products that are wireless-capable operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz under 802.11b and 802.11g or 5 GHz under 802.11a. Some home networking devices operate in both radio-band signals and fall within the standard 802.11n. A wireless network can be used for communication between many electronic devices, to connect to the Internet or to wired networks that use Ethernet technology. Wi-Fi is a marketing and compliance certification for IEEE 802.11 technologies.[2] The WiFi Alliance has tested compliant products certifies them for interoperability. 2.2.Existing home wiring: As an alternative to wireless networking, the existing home wiring (coax in North America, telephone wiring in multi dwelling units (MDU) and power-line in Europe and USA) can be used as a network medium. With the installation of a home networking device, the network can be accessed by simply plugging the Computer into a wall socket. 2.3.Power lines: Power line communication The ITU-T G.hn and IEEE Powerline standard, which provide high-speed (up to 1 Gbit/s) local area networking over existing home wiring, are examples of home networking technology designed specifically for IPTV delivery. Recently, the IEEE passed proposal P1901 which grounded a standard within the Market for wireline products produced and sold by companies that are part of the HomePlug Alliance.[3] The IEEE is continuously working to push for P1901 to be completely recognized worldwide as the sole standard for all future products that are produced for Home Networking.
