Breitbandübertragung

Breitbandübertragung refers to the transmission of data over a communication channel with a wide bandwidth. This allows for the transfer of a large amount of information at high speeds. Unlike narrowband transmission, which uses a narrow range of frequencies, broadband utilizes a broader spectrum, enabling multiple signals or channels to be transmitted simultaneously. This is often achieved through techniques like frequency division multiplexing.

Common examples of broadband transmission include digital subscriber line (DSL) internet services, cable television, and fiber optic networks. These technologies are crucial for modern digital communication, supporting activities such as streaming video, online gaming, and rapid file downloads. The capacity of a broadband connection is measured in bits per second (bps), with higher values indicating faster data transfer rates. Improvements in broadband technology continue to drive the development of new applications and services, increasing the demand for ever-higher bandwidths. The infrastructure for broadband is a key component of telecommunications networks worldwide.
