In telecommunications , broadband is wide bandwidth data transmission with an ability to simultaneously transport multiple signals and traffic types. The medium can be coaxial cable , optical fiber , twisted pair , DSL local telephone networks or wireless broadband (wireless broadband includes Mobile broadband ). In contrast, baseband describes a communication system in which information is transported across a single channel. [1] |

The term broadband refers to a telecommunications signal or device of greater bandwidth , in some sense, than another standard or usual signal or device (and the broader the band, the greater the capacity for traffic). Different criteria for "broad" have been applied in different contexts and at different times. Its origin is in physics, acoustics and radio systems engineering, where it had been used with a meaning similar to wideband . [1] [2] However, the term became popularized through the 1990s as a vague marketing term for Internet access . |

The term broadband refers to a telecommunications signal of greater bandwidth , in some sense, than another standard or usual signal (and the broader the band, the greater the capacity for traffic). Different criteria for "broad" have been applied in different contexts and at different times. Its origin is in radio systems engineering, but became popularized after MediaOne adopted it as part of a marketing campaign in 1996 to sell their high speed data access. The slogan was "This is Broadband. This is the Way". The term has never been formally defined, even though it is used widely and has been the subject of many policy debates, and the FCC " National Broadband Plan ". |

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).

Broadband in general refers to data transmission where multiple pieces of data are sent simultaneously to increase the effective rate of transmission. In network engineering this term is used for methods where two or more signals share a medium. |
