What is a computer network?
A computer network is a set of computers connected together for the purpose of sharing resources.
FOUR (4) COMMON TYPES OF COMPUTER NETWORK
1. LAN (Local Area Network)
– Connect Network devices over a relatively short distance.
– It is usually networked in office building, school or home.

LAOAG CITY
2. Wide Area Network (WAN)
– Covered a Large geographic area such as country, continent or even

whole of the world.
– Is a geographically-dispersed collection of LAN’s.
3. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

– A metropolitan area network traditionally refers to a private data network used by
a single organization in several buildings or by several organizations interconnected
in the same geographic vicinity.
– A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a computer network that is larger than a
single building local area network (LAN) but is located in a single geographic area that is
smaller than a wide area network (WAN).
4. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)

– A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or
more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network
(LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory,
campus, or office building.
– EEE is a separate, but related, organization and their website
has stated "WiFi is a short name for Wireless Fidelity".
NETWORK HARDWARE
What are network devices?
– Network devices, or networking hardware, are physical devices that are required for
communication and interaction between hardware on a computer network.
Access Point Switch HUB
Types of Network Devices
• Hub
• Switch
• Router Router
• Bridge Bridge
• Gateway
• Modem
• Repeater
• Access Point
Internet Service Provider
LAOAG CITY
What is an ISP?
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is the industry term for the company that is able to provide you with
access to the Internet, typically from a computer. If you hear someone talking about the Internet and they mention
their "provider," they're usually talking about their ISP.
Your ISP makes the Internet a possibility. In other words, you can have shiny computer with a built-in
modem and could have a router for networking, but without a subscription with an ISP, you won't have a
connection to the Internet.
TYPES OF ISP
1. DSL
– DSL which stands for Digital Subscriber Line is the most basic broadband connection type using
a wireline transmission technology to transmit data over traditional copper telephone lines already
installed to homes and businesses.
PROS CONS
The most affordable and has the most Higher download speed can be extremely
availability among all the three. Basically, it’s the expensive and are mostly packaged as internet plans
standard connection in the market right now and is the for businesses. To date, the maximum download
go-to connection for basic to moderate internet use speed available for consumers is 6MBPs
due to the fact that it doesn’t have a data cap and its
connection speed is decent enough for browsing,
streaming, and downloading.
LAOAG CITY
2. FIBER
–
– A state-of-the-art connectivity technology which uses fiber optics to convert electrical signals that
carry data into light then sends it through transparent glass fibers that are about the diameter of
a human hair.
PROS CONS
The download speeds offered by Fiber Fiber connection is still in its early stages in the
connections are extremely fast and is basically the Philippines, thus limiting its availability to key
gold standard for internet connections in other cities/areas in the country. Limited coverage is a bane
countries. Its minimum speed is at least three times for a large number of Filipino internet users who would
faster than a regular DSL connection with almost the not have the opportunity to use the connection for
same price range. Whether you’re just doing simple now.
browsing or gaming, a fiber connection will most likely
provide you with a seamless experience.
Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) in the Philippines

1. PLDT (Philippine Long-Distance Telephone)
2. GLOBE
3. CONVERGE
4. SKYCALBE
5. DITO telecommunication
MOBILE DATA
-Mobile data is Internet content delivered to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets over a
wireless cellular connection.
- A mobile data network is a network that your standard mobile phone or smart phone operates off.
The network is generally transmitted in mobile coverage areas.
Cellular Network Types
Cellular Network Details
1G Basics - The origins of cellular networks
LAOAG CITY
- founded in the early 1980s and development of the 900Mhz

analogue signal, and managed to last almost twenty years
- It was superseded by the much more flexible GSM technology
- The 900MHz signal was finally discontinued in June 2001.
- One of the most important cellular network types in the history
of mobile evolution.
- Global System for Mobile Communications – otherwise known
as GSM, or 2G – represented a huge improvement over the
2G
900MHz analogue signals and improved reception right across
the globe.
- 2G could transfer data at 40 kbit/s, though the structure of the
primarily ground-based network often hindered this
3G - Operating at the 1900 MHz and 2100 MHz bands, 3G was
otherwise referred to as UMTS, (Universal Mobile
Telecommunications Service) in European markets, and
CDMA2000 in the USA.
- 3G could reliably execute up to 14Mbits/s, making the transfer
and download of music and video an increasingly viable option.
- Also include your H or HSPA (High Speed Downlink Packet
Access) is faster than 3G and is also called 3G+
4G - The solution to the issue of how more data could be transferred
came from the understanding that it was possible to develop a
cellular network type that could operate at much higher
frequencies
- 4G is known as the International Mobile Telecommunications
Advanced (IMT-Advanced).
4G Revolution - dubbed long-term evolution or LTE (or Voice over LTE
(VoLTE)), and focused on better latency, resulting in much
lower buffering or even no buffering at all.
- The goal was to have internationally supported cellular network
types with download speeds between 10Mbit/s and an
astonishing 10Gbit/s, making even the largest files quick and
easy to download.
5G - user’s data transfer and downloads at up to 10Gbit/s.
- The 5G system is still in the process of being rolled out and the
next iteration is still not even specified, but undoubtedly phone
manufacturers will be looking to how they can improve and
increase their next generation of hardware to incorporate even
higher delivery frequencies.
ASSESSMENT
• Quiz will be conducted through Google classroom using the Google Form.
• Activities and Assignment will be posted in the Google Classroom.
