5 Major components of data communication systems are :-
1. Message Message is the information to be communicated. The message may consist of text, numbers, pictures etc.
2. Sender Sender is a device that sends the message. Normally, computer is used as sender in data communication systems. It is also called source or transmitter.
3. Medium Medium is the physical path that connects sender and receiver. It is used to transmit data. The medium can be a copper wire, a fiber optic cable, microwaves etc.
4. Receiver Receiver is a device that receives message. It is also called sink. The receiver can be computer, printer, or another computer related device. It must be proficient of accommodating the message.
5. Protocol A protocol is a set of policies that administrates data communication. It represents an agreement between communication devices. Devices cannot communicate without protocol.
communication media are the physical components through which the communication devices transmit data. e.g. cables, telephone lines, terminals.

It is true that in data communications the sending device is usually a computer. The main components are transmitter, receiver & antenna and every communication device must have all these three components

The scope of work and the educational requirements are the difference between data communication and data communication information.

to secure analog data is called scrambling in data communication
The five components are sender, receiver, protocol, medium and message
They are both forms of communication They are both a form of communication; data communication is a subset of telecommunication, telecommunication send data between two links by means of electromagnetic. (Like satellite), while data communication means send data by telecommunication, it consists of codes of 0's and 1's. In computer means, Data communication is digital data and telecommunication is equipped to send digital data to receiver.
In digital communication we talk about signal while in data communication we talk about data and the could be in the form of packets or frames.
