Back to Syllabus

Description
This subject aims to give a broad vision of communications networks and to familiarize the student with concepts and applications related to the field of telematics and computer networks, especially focused on local area networks. In the first part of the course, general concepts of data networks are introduced and the OSI architecture is delved into, as well as the TCP/IP architecture. In the second part of the course, advanced concepts of local area networks are worked on, and wireless networks are studied. Different practical sessions are also carried out to help acquire the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practice.
