...Unit 1 Exercise 1. Local Exchange The access network is the part of the network that connects the individual consumer or business to the telecommunication system by which the access network have’s to be one of the most important networks since data is being sent through the physical cabling link from the consumer to the local exchange but order for services to meet the requirement of data transferable satisfaction between the individual consumer and local exchange first all informative information from the local exchange will hold data information that will convert through the cabling network but there must be connectivity to the interconnection point of the telecommunication service order for this to process correctly as needed. A metro network also referred to as a MAN (metro area network) is responsible for aggregation information from the local exchanges of a specific service provider metro Ethernet can connect to a variety of data information within the local area networks (LANs) and individual end users to a wide area network (WANs) what distinguish a borderline of telecommunication structure throughout the internet connectivity service metro networking can distribute over a large climate of businesses when data is traveling through the metro network such as gaming development companies, high in corporations, academic institutions, and government agencies in large cities that can use metro Ethernet interconnection data package standard cabling or fiber optic cabling...

...Exercise One Nt1310 Week 1 In: Computers and Technology Exercise One Nt1310 Week 1 NT1310:Week 1 Telecommunications By: Kenneth Martin You are an IT Network Specialist and are required to develop the design of the company’s telephone system for its new building which will begin construction in a few months. 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. Central Office In telephone communication in the United States, a central office (CO) is an office in a locality...

...NT 1310 Physical Networking This packet includes: Unit 2 Assignment 1: Service Provider Types Exercise 1: Triple Play Marketing Unit 2 Assignment 1- Service Provider Types RBOCS - Regional Bell Operating Companies. These seven companies were established after an antitrust suit against AT&T. It split the company into seven regional companies that handle local exchange service. They are also known as “Baby Bells.” These companies handled almost all of the telephone services across the country. ILEC - Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier. This is a local telephone company that existed when AT&T was broken up into the RBOCS. It was an independent telephone company that provided telephone services in a specific geographical area. ILECs compete with CLECs. CLEC is an acronym for competitive local exchange carriers. They compete with ILECs by providing private line and special access services. They are not affiliated with the RBOCs. Some states especially encourage these companies because they are competitive and the opposite of the monopolies. MSO’s - Multiple system operators. These are defined as an operator of multiple cable television systems. This usually refers to large cable companies that provide service for multiple communities, such as Time Warner Cable, ComCast or Charter Cable. These MSOs provide television service, broadband internet services, and telephone services. ISP - Internet service provider. This is any company that provides customers direct access...

...Unit 1 Exercise 1 Local Exchange When you send an email from New York to Japan, that email,is sent from your home to the local exchange point over the access network. Once it is in the local exchange it is then sent to aggregating points in different cities and counties over the regional network. Then it is aggregated and transported over the long-haul network so that it reaches the launching point at the country shoreline where it is then sent over the ocean network to Japan. Once there, the email is sent back over the long-haul or regional network to the local exchange and then on to the individual receiving the email. This occurs using mostly fiber optics so the speeds at which all this takes is at the speed of light which is approximately 127,000 miler per second. understand how to interface with the local exchange you must first understand the different networks that comprise it. The first network, being the access network. The access network is the network that connects the individual user or business with the telecommunications system. This is made up of a series of fiber-optic and copper cabling and passive and active equipment that connects you to the local exchange. The central office at the local exchange contains the switching equipment to direct your telephone, data , video, etc. to where it needs to go. The access network is very important to the local exchange since it’s the part that reaches the end user, who is you, and connects them. The metro network, sometimes...

...Gevarish Carter Physical Networking Unit 1 Exercise 1 Local Exchange 9/28/15 The Local Exchange acts as the convergence point for the information sent to the consumers and the point at which services from the global telecommunication are distributed to the consumers. The central office at the local exchange contains the switching equipment to direct your telephone, data, video, etc. to where it needs to go. To understand that you must understand how to interface with the local exchange meaning you must know the different networks that compromise it. The first network is the access network which is the network that connects the individual user or business with the telecommunications system. It’s a critical part of the network because it’s the part of the network that reaches the end user and “connects them”. This is made up of a series of fiber-optic and copper cabling and passive and active equipment that connects you to the local exchange. The second network is the metro network, sometimes called the MAN it is where the information is collected from the local exchange of the service provider as well as other service provider and then sent to the regional and long-hauled network. This is usually the last point before the information is sent to the core network. The purpose of a Network is to share data. To make this possible, you have to be able to connect to other computers. Companies that succeeded at doing this have a great profit with exponential growth possibilities...

...Unit 1 Exercise 1 An analog signal is any continuous signal which the time varying feature (variable) of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity, i.e., analogous to another time varying signal. A digital signal is a physical signal that is a representation of a sequence of discrete values (a quantified discrete-time signal), for example of an arbitrary bit stream, or of a digitized (sampled and analog-to-digital converted) analog signal. Half-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier, but not at the same time. Full-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier at the same time. A ring network is a network topology in which each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node - a ring Long-distance telephone company, such as MCI (before its absorption by Verizon), Sprint and the former AT&T Corporation (before its merger with SBC in 2005).
