Data TransmissionData Transmission At one time, data transmission simply meant the sending of news and other details. This was often done by courier, and later with the Morse code via copper wires.
In computer technology, data transmission relates to sending streams measured in bits or bytes to a different location. The act may call for a number of different mediums such as a laser, copper wire, radio, or optical fiber. A prime example of data transmission would be sending files contained in a hard drive to the folders of a server, and then to the user’s web browser.
Data transmission protocol is a concept that allows the content to be legible following transmission. The protocol tends to work best with packeted forms of communication. There are several examples of data transmission:
- Serial Transmission - In this scenario, bits are individually transmitted over a single wire. The single bit method makes for a faster procedure.
- Parallel Transmission - This scenario makes use of multiple wires that have the ability to transmit several bits for a faster transmission than can be attainted with Serial Transmission. |
