History of Computer Networks In 1960, the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) was widely recognized as the world’s first operational packet-switching computer network and the foundational technology of the modern internet. Developed By: The U.S. Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, now DARPA). First Operational: 1969. Key Milestone: The first successful message transmission occurred on October 29, Read more…
Encoding Introduction Encoding is the broader term, and modulation is a subset of encoding. All modulation is encoding, but not all encoding is modulation. Encoding is the general process of converting data into a signal suitable for transmission or storage. Modulation is a special case of encoding in which a Read more…
