The current climate of rapid technological change which characterises modern society and the desire for increased efficiency and effective decision making in today's business has brought into focus the need for effective information exchange. This has resulted in enterprise information systems and inter-organisational systems being brought into sharp focus by information systems professionals. Data networks, interoperability and distributed systems philosophies are key components in the delivery of such systems. Therefore it is vital that network communications form an integral part of all contemporary information systems design and not an afterthought at the implementation stage.

The course seeks to broaden students' knowledge of telecommunications and networking fundamentals, as well as to provide an in depth understanding of networking concepts and the importance of network communication in a business environment. This course requires students to analyse and present information in a manner that facilitates the process of decision making in the field of business and telecommunication. The course expands upon knowledge of distributed system models and concepts by examining existing and emerging network communication technologies such as cloud computing, virtualisations, wireless technologies, optical fibre networks. As part of the course participants are expected to combine networking fundamentals and distributed systems covered in the course to provide tailored business solutions.

On successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. Appraise and explain telecommunications fundamental technologies and including implementation of local area network, metropolitan and wide area network architectures;
2. Analyse applicable prior concepts and approaches learned in the course and integrate these ideas with the concepts and approaches developed in this course;
3. Analyse academic and professional literacy by collating theoretical and practical course material into solutions through directed activity, practical in-class activities, assignment, and the examination;
4. Investigate solutions that are efficient, economic and provide business benefits in telecommunications.
