Computer Networking and Data Communication

अवलोकन

The industrial revolutions progressed from Industry 1.0 (1780 - mechanization via steam power) to 2.0 (1870 - mass production with electricity), 3.0 (1970- automation with IT and electronics), and 4.0 (2011 - smart factories using Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, etc). Industry 5.0 (started in the year 2020) is the next stage, which emphasizes human-machine collaboration and a human-centric approach, focusing on sustainability, personalization, and integrating human creativity with technology.

In today’s digitally driven world, seamless communication underpins activities such as messaging, multimedia streaming, and online transactions, all of which rely on reliable data networks. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of how information is transmitted, encoded, routed, and secured across digital networks.

Through theory, practical illustrations, and real-world case studies, learners will explore the architecture of modern communication systems - from basic signals to advanced wireless and high-speed networks. Learners will develop a strong conceptual base and gain technical knowledge relevant to engineering, IT industries, and research, with coverage that includes the fundamentals of analog and digital communication, OSI and TCP/IP reference models, network topologies and media, digital and analog transmission techniques, both wired and wireless technologies, routing and switching mechanisms, protocols, error control methods, and real-world applications in the Internet, mobile networks, and satellite systems.
