NTC/362 Week1 Evolution of The Telecommunications Industry

Write a 150- to 200-word response to the following: The World Wide Web is the best known example of a WAN, which is why once a WAN is in place, WAN security must be implemented. Some methods for securing WANs include firewalls, routers with access control lists, and intrusion detection systems. Write a 150- to 200-word response to the following: What about our Internet connections? My first computer was connected with a 58kbm modem, using prodigy.

Paper For Above instruction

The evolution of telecommunications has dramatically transformed the way individuals and organizations connect and communicate globally. The Internet, initially accessed via slow dial-up modems such as the 58 kbps connection using Prodigy, exemplifies this progress. Early Internet connections were characterized by limited bandwidth, making data transfer slow and sometimes unreliable. Over the decades, advancements in broadband technologies, fiber optics, wireless networks, and mobile communication have vastly increased speed and reliability. Today, high-speed internet connections such as fiber-optic services and 5G networks provide instantaneous data transfer, supporting streaming, online gaming, cloud computing, and remote work. Security remains a critical concern as the Internet evolved. Protecting sensitive data against cyber threats requires implementing robust security measures like firewalls, access control lists on routers, and intrusion detection systems, especially with the widespread use of global web applications and services. Understanding this progression from slow dial-up to high-speed, secure, and pervasive Internet connectivity underscores the importance of ongoing investment in telecommunications infrastructure and security to meet modern demands.
