Cell phones uses voice data networks because talk through one end is sent to the other end of the call.
Landline phones uses the same as cell phones
SMS/Text messaging uses data networks because it takes and saves an image of text and sends it over to the other end.
Fax Machine uses data networks because a file is saved and sent over to the fax machine to be printed out.
Pagers uses data networks because it is recorded and saved while being transfer over to the pager.
VOIP (voice over IP) phones uses voice data networks.
Skype/Facetime uses voice data networks because of live video streaming.
Unit 1 Exercise 1, Local Exchange Any movements and sounds on one end is recorded and sent as data through demarc live-tie, to the access networks. Then from access network it would go through metro network (city to city) and regional networks (county to county). From there it travels to long haul (state to state). Then to ocean networks (country to country) if players are out of the country gamers. After all that transfers, it back tracks to the other end of the receiver who is playing the game.
Unit 1 Lab 1. Data on Fixed Line vs Cellular Debate
Data Speed depends on the environment. One can be faster than the other
Network Security both are hackable, but cellular is more of a spoof because it’s a single out in the air to public to pick up while fixed line has firewalls and fiber optics it travels through.
Equipment Cost depending on environment costs on both of these could be less/more or even equal to each other.
Troubleshooting on both of these are the same due to pinging if there is a failure on any end of the network.
Failover Solutions both have the same redundancy although fixed lines are more costly because you would need another switch/router to reroute. Cellular would just switch towers and use another signal.
Using skype I recommend fixed line because you have more of a continuous connection than a
