IB DP Computer Science - Topic 3: Networks - VIDEO 3.1.10 - Outline Different Transmission Media

VIDEO 10: Welcome to our IB Diploma Programme (DP) Computer Science series! In this video, we explore Topic 3: Networks, with a focus on outlining the characteristics of different transmission media used in networking. You’ll learn about various transmission media, including metal conductors, fibre optic cables, and wireless technologies, and how they differ in terms of speed, reliability, cost, and security. We’ll also compare the advantages and disadvantages of each type, helping you understand how the choice of transmission media is influenced by the needs of different network environments. This video is ideal for IB Computer Science students, educators, or anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of network infrastructure and transmission technologies.
