Computer Network Components | Tech
The global internet is powered by thousands of interconnected networks in countries around the world. In order to connect to these networks, undersea fibre optic cables are needed. These networks are all connected, but if a person wants to get information from overseas the data traffic must be carried over a submarine (underwater) cable (or in rare cases, a satellite connection). Telecoms infrastructure from local providers connect a person’s device to a local network. This will change internet connectivity, bandwidth and the way we play online games. A few companies plan to build their own internet submarine cable between Africa and Europe to increase the internet connectivity.
Computer networks components comprise both physical parts as well as the software required for installing computer networks, both at organizations and at home. The hardware components are the server, client, peer, transmission medium, and connecting devices. The software components are operating system and protocols.
