broadband
<communications> A class of communication channel capable of supporting a wide range of frequencies, typically from audio up to video frequencies. A broadband channel can carry multiple signals by dividing the total capacity into multiple, independent bandwidth channels, where each channel operates only on a specific range of frequencies.
The term has come to be used for any kind of Internet connection with a download speed of more than 56 kbaud, usually some kind of Digital Subscriber Line, e.g. ADSL.
See also baseband, narrowband.

Broadband
A popular way to move large amounts of voice, data and video. Broadband technology letsdifferent networks coexist on a single piece of heavy-duty wiring. It isolates signal as a radio does; each one vibrates at a different frequency as it moves down the line. Its opposite is baseband, which separates signals by sending them at timed intervals.

Broadband
Network transmission capacity that greatly exceeds capacity required for voice transmission over traditional telephone cables. Broadband networks may have dedicated portions for audio, video, and data or they may allow for capacity switching. (See also Bandwidth, Information highway, Switched network, Networks, and ATM)

Broadband
This term refers to high-speed data transmission in which a single cable can carry several channels of data at once. The most common type of broadband transmission is cable wiring (as in cable TV and cable modems). Because of its multiogy mosple channel capability, broadband has started to replace the baseband, or single-channel technolt computer networks were orginially based on. So now when you see companies like AT&T and MediaOne pushing those fancy broadband ads in your face, you'll at least know what they're talking about.

Broadband
a high-speed, high-capacity transmission medium that can carry many, many signals from multiple independent network carriers on a single coaxial or fiberoptic cable, by establishing different bandwidth channels. In terms of Internet connectivity, broadband is much faster than regular dial-up access, and allows for the possibility of faster downloads and more effective and usable multimedia applications.

Broadband
Broadband in telecommunications is a term that refers to a signaling method that includes or handles a relatively wide range of frequencies, which may be divided into channels or frequency bins. Broadband is always a relative term, understood according to its context. The wider the bandwidth, greater is the information carrying capacity. In radio, for example, a very narrow-band signal will carry Morse code; a broader band will carry speech; a still broader band is required to carry music without losing the high audio frequencies required for realistic sound reproduction. A television antenna described as "normal" may be capable of receiving a certain range of channels; one described as "broadband" will receive more channels. In data communications a modem will transmit a bandwidth of 64 kilobits per seconds (kbit/s) over a telephone line; over the same telephone line a bandwidth of several megabits per second can be handled by ADSL, which is described as broadband (relative to a modem over a telephone line, although much less than can be achieved over a fibre optic circuit, for example).
