COMMUNICATION MEDIA
What is the requirement of communication in
CIM and how communication media forms a
part of communication?
CIM requires the engineering and manufacturing
information be communicated to proper points within
the operation.
Communication comprises of :
Representation of data.
The medium (through which data flows).
Networking (of the devices).
MEDIUM
A medium is that through which data is transmitted and the medium
links the sender with the receiver .

CHARACTERISTICS AND
APPLICATION OF COAXIAL CABLES.
Relatively cheap compared to fiber-optic cables.
Wider bandwidth compared to twisted pair wires.
Good transmission characteristics.
Used in high-speed synchronous transmission.
Supports broadband communication.
Can be tapped for multi-drop connection.
Avoid the risk of crosstalk since they have a grounded
- No interference.
- Signals are difficult to tap.
Smaller size
- Multiple fiber strands can be included in a cable
of very small diameter.
Purer the fibers the better the transmission
characteristics.
MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION
It uses very high frequency radio waves in
the range of
4.6-12.0 GHz.
Propagation
- Over space.
- Requires line-of-sight at high frequencies
the waves tend to behave like light waves .

Advantages
Application Areas
SATELLITE COMMUNICATION
Satellites work as relay stations. A device called
transponder receives signals at one frequency
and transmits them at another frequency to avoid
interference with the incoming signals.
It requires line-of-sight propagation.
APPLICATIONS OF
SATELLITE
COMMUNICATION
Telecommunications
- especially for inter-continental
communication.
TV broadcast
- usage is increasing
Navigation and other similar local
applications GPS
Manufacturing companies engaged in
world wide operations use satellite
CHOICE OF COMMUNICATION
MEDIA
The influencing factors involved are :
COST
ERROR RATE
SECURITY
SPEED
For CIM, coaxial cables provide a balance
between cost and benefits, though fiber-optic
cables are the medium of the future.
