Unit 1 Assignment
Dan SItkowski 1. Cell phones uses both voice and data networks. It uses data to get information and to also be allowed to access the internet. It also uses voice when you make a call. 2. Land phones use both networks. It uses data for caller ID and to send the information to find out where the call will be going. It also uses voice to transmit back and forth so that you can have a convocation. 3. SMS/Text messaging uses data networks. It only uses data networks because you are sending a message to another person. And in that message you can have files attached to the message as well. 4. Fax machines uses a data network. It uses this network because you put a document or photo threw the machine and it takes the image of that and creates a file. It then takes that file and sends it to another location. Then that location opens and prints or views the file. 5. Pagers use only data networks. It only uses data networks because when you send a file containing only text and then send it to a pager. The pager then takes that file and opens it showing the text for that person to read. 6. VOIP (voice over IP) uses data networks. VOIP uses data networks only because It uses the internet to talk to people instead of the traditional voice network. This allows someone to bypass the phone company. It works by taking the conversation and converts it to a file that is sent to the other location where it is opened. The problem with this is that if the internet goes down then you cannot call. 7. Skype/Facetime uses data networks. This works very similar to VOIP but also has the option to show video.
