Data communications and computer networks are becoming increasingly important in today's business world. 
Data communications is the transmission of digital data between two or more computers or a computer network. A computer network is a data communications system that interconnects computer systems at various sites. A network can be made up of any combination of LANs, or WANs. 

Some other related concepts are:
Network devices: Hardware or software that directs and regulates communications among computers or computer networks. Network devices support network establishment and maintenance, including data transmission and reception.
Communication media: The physical channels through which information is transmitted between computers in a network.
Local area network (LAN): A data transmission network that links computers, terminals, and printers within any buildings or other specified geographical locations.
Network security: The protection of information and data in a network. It protects data that is stored on a computer or network server from unauthorized access, modification, or theft.
Wireless communications: A type of data communication that is performed and delivered wirelessly. It incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal.
Network operating system: A computer operating system that facilitates the connection and communication of all the computing devices connected over a network. It enables file sharing, maintaining and creating a database, providing access to hardware such as printers, plotters, or fax machines.
