  4. Telecommunication Trends

  5. Telecommunications-Based Services

  6. Internet Networking Technologies • Internet networking technologies are being used as technology platform • Web browser suites • HTML Web page editors • Network management software • Firewalls • Being applied in Internet, intranet, and extranet applications • Reinforces previous move toward client/server networks based on open-systems architecture

  7. Open Systems • Open systems use common standards for hardware, software, applications, and networks • Internet networking technologies are a common standard for open systems • Connectivity • Open systems provide greater connectivity and network interoperability • Middleware may be needed to help diverse systems work together

  8. Middleware • Middleware • A general term for any programming that mediates between two separate programs • Allows a particular database to access other databases without custom programming • Commonly known as the “glue” of an information system • It routes data and information between back-end data sources and end user applications • An essential component of any IT infrastructure

  9. Digital Network Technologies • Telecommunications are being revolutionized by switch from analog to digital • Analog: voice-oriented transmission • Digital: discrete pulse transmission • Benefits • Higher transmission speeds • Moves larger amounts of information • Greater economy and much lower error rates • Transmits multiple types of communications (data, voice, video) on the same circuits
