ABSTRACT
Network communication is the transport of data, voice, video, image, or facsimile (fax) from one location to another achieved by compatibly combining elements of hardware, software, and media. From a business perspective, network communications is delivering the right information to the right decision maker at the right place and time for the right cost. Because there are so many variables involved in the analysis, design, and implementation of such networks, a structured methodology must be followed in order to assure that the implemented network meets the communications needs of the intended business, organization, or individual.
