broadband Last modified: Thursday, July 14, 2005
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. An exception is B-ISDN networks, which employ broadband transmission. Also see Cable vs. DSL in Webopedia's "Did You Know...?" section.
