TRANSMISSION MEDIA IS ALSO REFERRED AS TRANSMISSION CHANNELS OR COMMUNICATION NEDIA OR CHANNELS. BESIDES THEM WIFI AND BLUETOOTH ARE ALSO USED AS TRANSMISSION MEDIA AS WIRELESS COMMUNICATION. HERE'S SOME LISTS OF TRANSMISSION MEDIA WHICH USES:-
COAXIAL CABLE
- IT IS MORE COSTLY COMPARED TO TWISTED- PAIR CABLE.
- THIS CABLE PROVIDES HIGH BANDWIDTH.
- DATA TRANSMISSION RATE OF THIS CABLE IS HIGH.
- IT IS QUITE BULKY.
- INSTALLATION OF THIS CABLE IS ALSO EASY.
- IT HAS LOW COST.
- INSTALLATION THROUGH THIS CABLE IS EASY.
- IT IS SUITABLE FOR SHORT DISTANCE NETWORKING.
- IT IS GOOD FOR LARGE DISTANCE TRANSMISSION.
- IT HAS QUITE HIGH BANDWITH.
- IT IS SUITABLE FOR DIGITAL DATA TRANSMISSION.
- IT HAS HIGH QUALITY TRANSMISSION.
- IT IS VERY COSTLY.
- IT IS DIFFICULT TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN.
- IT HAS ELECTROMAGNETIC SIGNALS LIKE RADIO WAVES, MICROWAVES.
- IT IS SUITABLE FOR LONG DISTANCE.
- IT IS SUITABLE FOR AREAS WHERE INSTALLATION OF CABLE IS DIFFICULT SUCH AS MOUNTAINS, RIVERS AND SEA, ETC.
WI-FI STANDS FOR WIRELESS FIDELITY. IT IS MOST POPULAR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL USED AT SMALL OFFICES, HOMES AND PUBLIC HOT SPOTS.
WI-FI DEVICES MAY NOT RECOGNIZE AND COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AUTOMATICALLY, RATHER THEY MUST BE CONFIGURED TO SHARE DATA AND RESOURCES.
BLUETOOTH
BLUETOOTH IS A VERY SHORT RANGE (GENERALLY UP TO 32FT) WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY. IT CONSUMES LESS POWER, AND CHEAP AS COMPARE TO WI-FI.
