Broadband

In general, broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently, allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (much as more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time). Related terms are wideband (a synonym), baseband (a one-channel band), and narrowband (sometimes meaning just wide enough to carry voice, or simply "not broadband," and sometimes meaning specifically between 50 cps and 64 Kpbs).

leased line

A permanent telephone connection between two points set up by a telecommunications common carrier. Typically, leased lines are used by businesses to connect geographically distant offices. Unlike normal dial-up connections, a leased line is always active. The fee for the connection is a fixed monthly rate. The primary factors affecting the monthly fee are distance between end points and the speed of the circuit. Because the connection doesn't carry anybody else's communications, the carrier can assure a given level of quality.

For example, a T-1 channel is a type of leased line that provides a maximum transmission speed of 1.544 Mbps. You can divide the connection into different lines for data and voice communication or use the channel for one high speed data circuit. Dividing the connection is called multiplexing.

Increasingly, leased lines are being used by companies, and even individuals, for internet access because they afford faster data transfer rates and are cost-effective if the Internet is used heavily.

What is the transmission media of a dial-up line have?

Dial-up pertains to a telephone connection in a system of many lines shared by many users. A dial-up connection is established and maintained for a limited time duration. The alternative is a dedicated connection, which is continuously in place. Dial-up lines are sometimes called switched lines and dedicated lines are called nonswitched lines. A dedicated line is often a leased line that is rented from a telephone company.A dial-up connection can be initiated manually or automatically by your computer's modemor other device.Dial-up networking is an important connection method for remote and mobile users. A dial-up line is a connection or circuit between two sites through a switched telephone network. In the data communication world, a dial-up line forms a link between two distant computers or local area networks. Dial-up lines provide any-to-any connections. The originating site can call any other site, unlike dedicated leased lines that provide a permanent connection between two sites. Modems are required on both ends of a dial-up line. The transmission rate can be as high as 56 Kbits/sec.Dial-up lines can be aggregated, meaning that multiple dial-up lines can be combined to improve the capacity. The MLPPP (Multilink PPP) protocol allows users to dial a remote system (usually an ISP) and connect with a single line. Once authenticated, a second line is dialed automatically. The throughput increases from 56 Kbits/sec to 112 Kbits/sec.]Costs no more than making regular callComputers at any two locations can establish a connection using modems and telephone network
