What are Computer Networks?

A computer network can be basically defined as the set of computers sharing resources, the maybe adjacent or maybe situated miles apart from each other. But, there's a common thing between all these computers which are connected in any computer network i.e., all these computers are located on network nodes.
When we think about resource sharing, The most basic requirement to accomplish this is, communication. Every language has certain rules, similarly, the communication between these network nodes have communication protocols to provide consistency among these communications.
Have you ever thought how these many numbers of computers are connected into a network?
Short answer, It depends. There are different network topologies that connect these computer nodes. Here, topology is the physical or logical relationship of all the nodes that are present in a network. These nodes then communicate with each other and perform miracles as we observe them in our day to day life.

Are Computer Networks So Important?

We all surf through the web all day long, even now, when you all are online and reading this blog, you are connected to Internet. Internet is also a type of interconnected computer networks and it is hard to imagine our lives without internet.
Apart from this, in today's world, nearly every business is largely dependent on computer networks in one way or other. Computer Networks provides a win-win situation for both the users and the businesses.
Industrial networks in different companies help connect various computers to transfer data, reduce communication protocols, and increase data accessibility efficiently which are also known as enterprise network.

Why do we need advances in Computer Networks?

Computer Networks have huge number of benefits like File Sharing, Resource Sharing, increasing storage capacity also, computer networks can be very cost efficient in long runs of any industry for nearly every kind of business.
Of course, as the computer are advancing day to day, to provide better performance and accuracy to its users, the communication between these computers needs also to be filtered and upgraded so that, a more secure, efficient, and fast communicating network can be formed that would take less amount of computations and resources and share more data across its networks.
This upgradation will result in better profits of businesses and faster services to all the users of that network.
It's impossible to give a detailed information of all these advancements in a Blog, but we'll help to understand the overall idea of the most prominent Top 4 advancements in Computer Networks that hold the power to revolutionize the world.

Multi Cloud technology

(Ref www.xenonstack.com)
Multi-cloud is the use of multiple cloud computing services from various cloud vendors. A multi-cloud environment could be completely private or public or a combination of both i.e., Hybrid. Many companies use multi-cloud environments to distribute computing resources to minimize the risk of downtime and data losses also, giving flexibility and help to prevent vendor lock-in.
Multi Cloud Technology can also increase the computing power and storage available to different businesses. Innovations in the cloud in recent years have resulted in a move from single-user private clouds to multiple independent public clouds and hybrid clouds.

Internet of Things (IoT)

(ref www.bbvaopenmind.com)
A thing in the internet of things can be a person with a heart monitor implant, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address and is capable of transfering data over a network. Many high-end cars of India are equipped with ADAS Technology that is primarily based on IoT.
A full fledge IoT system consists of web-enabled smart devices that use various embedded systems, such as processors, sensors and communication hardware, to collect, send and act on data they acquire and send to other devices. These devices communicate with other devices connected in ecosystem and act on the basis of the data they receive from each other. These devices are capable of doing most of the work without any human intervention.
Increasingly, variety of industries are using IoT to operate more efficiently, to better understand customers to deliver enhanced customer services and indirectly, increase the value of the business.

5G Mobile Networks

(Ref www.techlicious.com)
The hottest topic in recent years, the 5G Network, is the 5th generation mobile network. 5G will be able to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultralow latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users. Higher performance and improved efficiency empower new user experiences and connects new industries.
5G will expand the mobile communication systems into new realms. 5G will affect every industry, mostly the mobile network-based industries in making safer transportation, remote healthcare, digitized logistics — and more — a reality.
We are close to 5G communications and also, some 5G supported phones are available in the Market for normal usage. But, the 5G network has not been commercialized as of now.

WiFi6

(Ref www.asus.com) Faster internet is constantly in demand, especially as we consume more bandwidth-demanding apps, games, and videos with our laptops and phones. Wi-Fi 6 is the next upcoming generation of Wi-Fi. It will still focus on the basic fundamentals of Wi-Fi i.e., connect you to the internet but it'll consist of bunch of additional technologies to make that happen more efficiently, speeding up connections in the process. Wi-Fi 6 has a much higher theoretical speed limit than its predecessor Wi-Fi 5 i.e., 3.5 Gbps is still important. That 9.6 Gbps doesn't have to go to a single node of computer. It is split up across whole network of devices but, this means that more potential speed can be achieved for each device Instead of boosting the speed for individual devices, Wi-Fi 6 is all about improving the network when a bunch of devices are connected. Wi-Fi generations rely on new hardware, not just software updates, so you'll need to buy new phones, laptops, and so on to get the new version of Wi-Fi 6.

So, Here's an overall idea of what top 4 emerging trends in Computer Networks are and their importance. We hope you enjoyed reading the blog !
