Glossary Term "broadband"

broadband

Related Terms digital, narrowband
Description Describes a communication medium that can transmit multiple data channels simultaneously (as opposed to narrowband, which can only transmit one data channel, typically either voice or digital information). In Internet terms, most consumers would understand broadband as a "hi-speed and always-on Internet delivery channel". Technologies such as 3G (for wireless), ADSL, cable modems and dedicated leased lines are all deemed capable of delivering 'broadband' speeds. Exactly what this speed needs to be to qualify as broadband is much debated but a data transfer rate greater than 250kbps could safely be considered 'broadband'.
