  2. Modem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem

    A modulator-demodulator or most commonly referred to as modem is a computer hardware device that converts data from a digital format into a format suitable for an analog transmission medium such as telephone or radio. A modem transmits data by modulating one or more carrier wave signals to encode digital information, while the receiver ...

  3. High-bit-rate digital subscriber line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bit-rate_digital...

    High-bit-rate digital subscriber line (HDSL) is a telecommunications protocol standardized in 1994. [1] It was the first digital subscriber line (DSL) technology to use a higher frequency spectrum over copper, twisted pair cables. HDSL was developed to transport DS1 services at 1.544 Mbit/s and 2.048 Mbit/s over telephone local loops without a ...

    Single-pair high-speed digital subscriber line (SHDSL) is a form of symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL), a data communications technology for equal transmit and receive (i.e. symmetric) data rate over copper telephone lines, faster than a conventional voiceband modem can provide. As opposed to other DSL technologies, SHDSL employs trellis ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x

    FTTE (fiber-to-the-edge) is a networking approach used in the enterprise building (hotels, convention centers, office buildings, hospitals, senior living communities, Multi-Dwelling Units, stadiums, etc.). Fiber reaches directly from the main distribution frame of a building out to the edge devices, eliminating the need for intermediate ...

  7. Bit rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate

    In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. [1]The bit rate is expressed in the unit bit per second (symbol: bit/s), often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s) or tera (1 Tbit/s = 1,000 Gbit/s). [2]

  8. Router (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_(computing)

    Router (computing) Rack containing a service-provider–class router connected to multiple networks. A router[a] is a computer and networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks, including internetworks such as the global Internet. [2][3][4] A router is connected to two or more data lines from different IP networks.
