In order to get a background which will help when developing the new system, your supervisor asked you to research the current Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) currently used by the company. You must research the system components and report back to your supervisor , the Telecommunications Manager, within a week. 1. Describe a local land line phone system based on the following Landline Telephone Components: a. Local Loop a local loop is the wired connection from a telephone company's central office in a locality to its customers' telephones at homes and businesses. This connection is usually on a pair of copper wires called twisted pair. The system was originally designed for voice transmission only using analog transmission technology on a single voice channel. Today, your computer's modem makes the conversion between analog signals and digital signals. With Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), the local loop can carry digital signals directly and at a much higher bandwidth than they do for voice only. b.

...NT1310 Week 2 – Unit 2 Assignment 1 Service Provider Types There are five different types of telecommunication types to date. First of which is RBOC – (regional bell operating company) which was a telephone company created as a result of the breakup of AT&T. The seven original regional Bell companies were Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, BellSouth, NYNEX, Pacific Bell, Southwestern Bell, and US WEST. The reason why this was so important was because these companies are what provided local telephone service while AT&T provided the long distance phone service. These are what made up the Local Exchanges or the LEC’s. ILEC or incumbent local exchange carrier was a telephone provider that provided local service prior to the telecommunications act of 1996. These play a major role because these carriers are what own the local loops/exchange and facilities in that area. CLEC’s are the exact same thing except they are the competitor to the ILEC’s but provided their own networking and switches for local service. MSO or Multi system Operator – is owner of multiple cable and satellite television systems. This ties into what an ISP is. An ISP is simply and Internet service provider that provides a mean for accessing the internet. MSO is majorly known for being cable companies, because of this cable companies are providing internet to cable customers (usually as bundles with their plan). They work within each other because they...

Describe a local land line phone system based on the following Landline Telephone Components: I would place a call using my phone which is connected to the jack by a fixed line, the data would be sent to my service providers Central office via Local Loop, once the data has reached the CO and depending where my call was going it would be transferred to the local exchange for local calls and long distance, and for long distance calls it would be transferred at the POP to the Long distance System. *NOTE* I was unsure about the question so I defined the components and described a local line phone system. a.) Local Loop: is a loop of copper wire that allows current to flow from the telephone to the central office and back. It is the dual-wire physical interface that connects a telephone to the CO (central office). b.) Central Office: also referred to as the local exchange, which provides services to a group of subscribers in a local area. c.) Local Exchanges: Local exchanges are local telephone...

...Thomas Boehm NT1310 Physical Networking Gary L Week 9 Activity Light Sources and Components – Definitions 1. Forward Biased LED- When the LED is forward biased (a positive voltage is applied to the p region and a negative voltage to the n region), current flows through the LED. 2. Incoherent Light- Photons emitted from the junction where the p and n regions meet are not in phase, nor are they launched in the same direction. These are out of phase photons 3. Laser- Acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. It produces a coherent source of light with a narrow beam and a narrow spectral bandwidth. Used to provide the high-powered, tightly controlled light wavelengths necessary for high-speed, long-distance optical fiber transmissions. 4. Output Pattern- The output pattern or NA of the light source directly relates to the energy coupled into the core of the optical fiber. The output pattern of a laser light source is very narrow, allowing a majority of the light energy to be coupled into the core of a single-mode or multimode optical fiber. 5. Output Power- Optical output power levels are normally expressed as the amount of light coupled into a one meter optical fiber. Laser output power varies depending on the application. 6. Modulation Speed- Light Emitting Transistors are responsible for the modulation speed. Modulation speed of 4.3 gigahertz was reached in 2009. 7. Core Diameter Mismatch- When 2 different cores are...

...Christopher A. Lee Sr. NT1310 Week 3 Assignment.Network Topology Paper Network topology is the arrangement of the various elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer network.[1][2] Essentially, it is the topological[3] structure of a network, and may be depicted physically or logically. Physical topology refers to the placement of the network's various components, including device location and cable installation, while logical topology shows how data flows within a network, regardless of its physical design. Distances between nodes, physical interconnections, transmission rates, and/or signal types may differ between two networks, yet their topologies may be identical. A good example is a local area network (LAN): Any given node in the LAN has one or more physical links to other devices in the network; graphically mapping these links results in a geometric shape that can be used to describe the physical topology of the network. Conversely, mapping the data flow between the components determines the logical topology of the network.
