communications medium powerpoint

by

Week 5 assignment is going to be similar to the assignment you completed for Week 4. You will get an opportunity to build a substance-based PowerPoint presentation. You may add audio to support this presentation using Kaltura. You want to use images, videos on YouTube, if available, hyperlinks and other supportive diagram where necessary.

You will see in the assignment area, you will have the option of attaching the PowerPoint presentation. If you do not have access to PowerPoint, use MS Word, but you will need to address each point and add images to support your transition. You may download audacity, independent of this environment, and use it to create and upload an audio.

Keep in mind, the assignment will extend your knowledge beyond the lessons via research. Additionally, communication media would be the same as transmission media in respect to this assigment.

Examples of wired media would include the following:

  • Twisted-pair cable is used for telephone systems and network cabling.
  • Coaxial cable is often used for cable television wiring.
  • Fiber-optic cable is capable of carrying significantly more data at faster speeds than wired cables.

Examples of wireless media would include the following:

  • Broadcast radio distributes radio signals over long and short distances.
  • Cellular radio is a form of broadcast radio used for mobile communications.
  • Microwave station, which is earth-based reflective dish used for microwave communications, and it must transmit in straight line with no obstructions.

Submission Instructions: Upon completion, submit your completed presentation in this area of the classroom for grading.
