Data communication is the exchange of data between devices via the medium of transmission. It can be done through wired media, such as twisted pair cable or coaxial cable, or wireless media like optical fibers or radio waves. The data must be encoded, encapsulated and transmitted by the device sending it followed by decoding www.bigdataroom.net and decapsulation at the receiver device. This process is similar to the transmission of analog signals but more complicated and focuses on the exchange of binary data (1s and 0s).
Companies are using data communications to better communicate information to dispersed users. This improves efficiency within their company. To match inventory to demand and cut down on waste, an automaker had to communicate data to 6’000 untrained spare parts dealers dispersed. This required communication via a network not optimized for data transmission and the use of a mobile app that was difficult for new users to navigate.
Effective data communication starts with understanding your audience’s perspective on the data. It is the process of creating visuals that help tell the story and provide context-based information. It is also about articulating information in a clear narrative. It also involves tailoring the content to the particular audience according to their structure, technical proficiency and level of interest. Lastly, it involves breaking the boundaries of creativity to make data communication more impactful and memorable.
