Document Summary

12. 1 explain network basics and how networks enable data sharing to occur. A network is a communications, data exchange, and resource-sharing system created by linking two or more computers and establishing standards, or protocols, so that they can work together. Networks range from small two-computer networks to the biggest network of all, the internet. A network provides two principle benefits: the ability to communicate and the ability to share. The key advantage of providing data communication links between a company and its suppliers or customers is the sharing of data. 12. 2 explain the use of networks and telecommunications in business (i. e. , voip, networking businesses, increasing the speed of business, and the challenges associated with securing business networks). It is easy to apply the fundamentals of networks and telecommunications to business, and see how they offer competitive advantage to organizations. Voip adds abilities like integration to business applications, calendar integration, reduced costs, and workforce mobility.
