What is Data Network?
A data network is a data communication system that transfers data between network access points. The prime functionality of data networks is to transfer data from one point to one or more points.
It is different from other networks such as an audio network, in the sense that these are configured to transmit data only. This is in contrast to the audio or voice network, which is often employed for both voice communications and the transmission of data. There are two basic types of data networks in operation today – Private and Public. A private network is essentially a local network that is designed to allow for the transmission of data between the various departments within a given entity, such as a company. All locations of the company may be included as nodes on the network, and be able to communicate through a common server that functions as the repository for any and all datafiles that are used throughout the business. A public network on the other hand will be widely accessible to both residential and corporate clients of a given carrier network. The setup of this type of network may involve using multiple servers and connection to the network through several different processes. Often, the network will require some type of subscription process, such as a monthly usage fee.
