http://www.answers.com/topic/star-network?cat=technology |
According to the article on the listed Website, The star network is one of the most common computer network topologies. It describes the network as consisting of one central switch or computer which acts as a conduit to transmit messages. Also this network reduces the chance of network failure since it connects all of the systems to a central node. For example if one network computer goes down other computers on the network will not be affected by this failure. Finally, the advantages of a star network are as follows: good performance, feasability, no chance of a centralized failure, and used as a centralized control.

Telecommunications in the future may not look much differently than they do today, the only difference is 20 years in the future they may be more common. If we look back 20 years ago most of our telecommunication devices were the same, the only difference was in size, speed and affordability. This reference makes the prediction that in the future computers may be handed out for free just as cell phones are today, they feel computers may be that affordable and the actual services is what may be the most profitable.

Telecommunications today is perhaps the fastest evolving field of study. It is continuously offering new challenges and opportunities to telecommunications network planners. The subscriber part of the telecommunications network or the network connecting the subscribers to the central office or the access network that has been traditionally simple twisted copper pair based, point to point, passive network is now becoming increasingly complex. In the present scenario it becomes imperative for the access network planner to be familiar with both traditional and new technologies, structures and methods as their plans would have a profound long term impact on how the network shapes up and meets the desired objectives. The basic idea of telecommunication is the exchange of information. The information may include voice, text, data, image and video. A telecommunications network is therefore a system which can provide these services to a number of end users. It is very important for network planners to pay attention to the technical evolution of telecommunication systems. This would to enable proven new technologies to provide high quality telephone service and meet demands of new telecommunication services.
