A significant way that Ferrum Mountain Amusement Park would do buisness with another is by getting into buisness with contractors who can take the time to help build our roller coasters.  So looking at it from the company's point of view the amusement park would be the client, the company who is helping with the rides would provide us with a server to get in contact with them.  The internet would help us find out more about how they provide service to us.

This diagram is explaining the communications and collaboration of infrastructure.  The first thing the diagram illustrates is the servers sending out a message to reciever.  The message gets sent through the transmission media.  Following that, the reciever decodes the message, which can also be called the protocols.  During the process of decoding the message, digitizing occurs; which means turning some type of media into digital information.  The two medias that can be used in this process is, cable media and wireless media.  It's just like how home phones work with or without a cable wire.  The bandwidth illustrates the capacity of a certain communications, converted and measured into bits.
