1.0 Introduction
A computer network and communication is defined as a collection of computers and devices
connected by communications channels that facilitates communications among users and allows
users to share resources with other users.
Communication is referred as the exchange of thoughts, messages or information as by speech,
signals, writing or behaviour.
Computer network is important for wide range communication, low cost communication and

high reliability by having multiple sources of supply.

2.1 Definition
Mobile computing is a generic term describing one's ability to use technology while moving, as
opposed to portable computers, which are only practical for use while deployed in a stationary
configuration.

3.0 Internet technology and Services

3.1 VoIP
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is referred as the transmission
of voice traffic over IP-based networks.
There are three ways to connect to a VoIP network which is by
using a VoIP telephone, using a normal telephone with a VoIP adapter and using a computer with
speakers and a microphone.

3.2 BLOG
A blog (a contraction of the term "web log") is a type of website, usually maintained by an
individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of
events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries
are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order.

4.0 Types of network

4.1 PAN
A personal area network (PAN) is the interconnection
of information technology devices within the range of
an individual person, typically within a range of 10
meters. For example, a person traveling with a laptop,
a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a portable
printer could interconnect them without having to plug
anything in, using some form of wireless technology. Typically, this kind of personal area
network could also be interconnected without wires to the Internet or other networks.
Also see wireless personal area network (WPAN) which is virtually a synonym since almost any
personal area network would need to function wirelessly. Conceptually, the difference between a
PAN and a wireless LAN is that the former tends to be centered around one person while the
latter is a local area network (LAN) that is connected without wires and serving multiple users.

4.2 VPN
Short for Virtual Private Network is a network that is
constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. For
example, there are a number of systems that enable you to create
networks using the Internet as the medium for transporting data. These systems use encryption
and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and
that the data cannot be intercepted.

4.3 WLAN
Short for Wireless Local Area Network is a type of local area network that
uses high-frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate between
nodes.

4.4 WiMAX
WiMAX is a wireless digital communications system that is intended for
wireless "metropolitan area networks". WiMAX can provide broadband
wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and 3 - 10
miles (5 - 15 km) for mobile stations. In contrast, the WiFi/802.11 wireless local area network
standard is limited in most cases to only 100 - 300 feet (30 - 100m).

5.0 Conclusion
Communication can now go across borders with a fast speed and low cost because of the
continues development of networks.
