Andmetevõrgud

Andmetevõrgud, also known as data networks, refer to a collection of interconnected computing devices and other hardware components that can communicate with each other and share resources. These networks can range in size from small local area networks (LANs) connecting a few devices in a home or office to vast wide area networks (WANs) like the internet, spanning the globe.

The primary purpose of data networks is to facilitate the exchange of information. This can include text, images, audio, video, and other forms of digital data. Devices within a network are typically connected using cables, such as Ethernet, or wirelessly through technologies like Wi-Fi or cellular networks. Network infrastructure includes routers, switches, and modems, which manage the flow of data and ensure that information reaches its intended destination.

Data networks are fundamental to modern society, enabling communication, commerce, education, and entertainment. They allow individuals and organizations to access information, collaborate on projects, conduct online transactions, and stay connected with others. The design and management of these networks involve various protocols and standards that govern how data is transmitted, received, and interpreted. Security is also a crucial aspect, with measures implemented to protect data from unauthorized access, modification, or disruption.
