One of the more complicated lectures of the New Internet Generation course was the lecture of internet access technologies. The lecture of internet access technologies is all about the ADSL connection network via the cable. ADSL is the internet connection where a wire is necessary to use a wire. Different are the GPRS, UMTS and WiMax connections which are wireless.
This lecture was quite confusing for me due the fact that there were many definitions explained. During the lecture graphs were shown were was explained how much the fixed and mobile network has grown. Stated in the lecture was “Cisco VNI predict that global mobile data traffic will double every year through 2014, increasing 39 times between 2009 and 2014”.
Further in detail discussed in the lecture by the professor was the access and transport of the internet connection network. Next to the access and the transport a mayor point in the presentation was the connection of the mobile communication network, which is architecture of the mobile network that allows mobility and gives access to many other mobile network connections.
This lecture was one of the more confusing lectures in the course new internet generation. I did some background about this topic before starting my blog and found out that is quite a difficult subject if you are a student not operating in the field of communication engineering.
