Tech Differences

AM and FM are the modulation techniques. The prior difference between AM and FM is that in AM the frequency is kept constant and amplitude of the signal changes while in FM the amplitude of the signal is not allowed to change and frequency of the signal changes. Fundamentally, there are two types of continuous wave modulation/analog modulation, amplitude modulation and angle modulation. FM is categorized under angle modulation. Modulation is a method of changing some particular properties of … [Read more...]

H.323 and SIP are specifically known for the IP signalling standards. The H.323 and SIP describe multimedia communication systems and protocols. These protocol suites differ in many ways. Essentially, H.323 is derived by ITU before the advent of SIP while SIP is acknowledged by IETF standard. IP telephony (Voice over IP) was evolved to implement cost savings, which actually produces from regulative taxes levied on long distances voice calls. This type of additional charge is not pertinent to … [Read more...]

LAN (Local Area Network) is a collection of network devices which employ the communications between the connected devices. Similarly, VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a type of LAN which enhances the capabilities of a flat LAN. Now, how these can be differentiated? There are major differences between LAN and VLAN such as LAN work on single broadcast domain while VLAN works in a multiple broadcast domain. VLAN can combine the end station having similar requirement irrespective of their physical location … [Read more...]

PCM and DPCM are the procedures used for transforming analog signal into digital. These methods are different as the PCM represents sample value by code words whereas in DPCM the original and sample values depend on previous samples. The conversion of analog-to-digital signal is beneficial for many applications because the digital signals are less susceptible to noise. The digital communication system provides better performance, reliability, security, efficiency and system integration. PCM … [Read more...]

An Ethernet is primarily a group of LAN technologies which are covered in IEEE 802.3 u standard. The ethernet is easily maintained and managed and considered to be low-cost network implementation solution. It comes in three variations, 10Base-T ethernet, fast ethernet and gigabit ethernet. The main difference between fast ethernet and gigabit ethernet is the contradicting speed where fast ethernet provides at maximum 100 Mbps of data transmission speed whereas gigabit ethernet offers high-speed … [Read more...]

Subnetting is the technique of partitioning a large network into smaller networks. On the other hand, the supernetting is the method used for combining the smaller ranges of addresses into larger space. Supernetting was devised to make the routing process more convenient. Additionally, it reduces the size of routing table information so that it could consume less space in the router's memory. The well-defined method for the subnetting is FLSM and VLSM while for supernetting CIDR is … [Read more...]

The SAN and NAS are the information storage techniques which are often mixed with one another because of alike acronyms. These can be differentiated by the fact that SAN (Storage Area Network) shares the storage to the dedicated network whereas NAS (Network Attached Storage) share the storage over a shared network. SAN uses block storage. Conversely, NAS uses the file system. These storage techniques were devised to fulfil the purpose of storing, protecting and managing the magnificent amount … [Read more...]
