About Networking Technology - Basics

Networking technology is a great development in IT industry. Simply speaking, the networking technology enables communications and data transferring between different computers through various networking devices. As the first generation of networking technology, a computer is wired into a networking system. The wireless networking technology and wireless networking devices have been rapidly developed in the recent years, which significantly cuts installation and administration costs, and avoids networking problems caused by the wired structure.

About Computers & Networking Devices

Computer networks can also be classified according to the hardware and software networking technology that is used to interconnect the individual devices in the network, such as Optical fiber, Ethernet, Wireless LAN, HomePNA, Power line communication or G.hn.

Ethernet networking technology uses physical wiring to connect the computers & networking devices. Frequently deployed computers & networking devices include hubs, switches, bridges and/or routers. This networking technology is still being used in many business environments.

Wireless LAN networking technology is designed to connect computers and networking devices without having computers & networking system wired. This networking technology uses networking devices adopting radio waves or infrared signals as transmission media.

ITU-T G.hn networking technology connects computer & networking devices through existing household wiring such as coaxial cable, phone lines and power lines to create a high-speed, up to 1 gigabit per second,  local area computer networking systems.
