    For networks, a type of data transmission in which a single connection, such as a cable modem or DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), can transmit multiple signals simultaneously and at high speed and is always connected.The term comes from the broader telecommunications concept of a medium that handles a relatively wide range of electromagnetic frequencies, or bands, allowing it to send a large amount information at one time.

     "A type of data transmission in which a single medium (wire) can carry several channels at once. Cable TV, for example, uses broadband transmission. In contrast, baseband transmission allows only one signal at a time. Most communications between computers, including the majority of local-area networks, use baseband communications."

    "Traditionally, a means of telecommunication in which a single connection employs a large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, for example a wide range of frequencies, or bands. By utilizing a wider range of frequencies, the connection can send more information at one time, which makes data transfer faster (high-speed). It can also send multiple signals at one time. Broadband communications are also continuous (always-on). They do not require a dial-up connection.

     

     

     

     

    Common examples of broadband transmissions are cable, whereby multiple television and cable channels, and now Internet feed, can be transmitted over a single connection. Another example is a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) connection, whereby high-speed Internet feed and telephone signals can travel across a single line."

     

     

    "Broadband video" in the context of streaming internet video has come to mean video files that have bitrates high enough to require broadband Internet access in order to view them. (Wikipedia)
