What is the role of a CODEC? What does CODEC stand for?
CODEC stands for Compression/Decompression
CODEC is an algorithm or computer program used to reduce the number of
bytes used by a large file
There are three transmission modes used in communication, these are shown
in the diagram below. Explain what each is and how it operates.

Transmission Mode Description


Simplex is a one way only communication standard.
Broadcast information, or data, can only travel in
Simplex
one direction. Examples of simplex include radio
broadcasting, television broadcasting, computer to
printer communication, and keyboard to computer
connection
Half Duplex is the transmission of data in only one
direction at any given time. A good example of Half
Half Duplex
Duplex includes CB radio or walkie talkie

Full Duplex is the transmission of data in two


directions simultaneously. Telephones are full-
Duplex (Full Duplex)
duplex devices. Example of full duplex include
telephones
The table below shows the main transmission methods that are used.
Complete the table to find out the key details, benefits, and limitations of
each.

How many geostationary satellites are there in orbit and what do they
provide?
As of 2019 there are 19 satellites in either operation or standby, they provide
visible and infrared images of earths surface and atmosphere for weather
observation, oceanography and atmospheric tracking.
