Lankaliittymää

Lankaliittymää refers to a wired internet connection in Finnish. It describes the physical infrastructure and service that provides internet access through a cable, as opposed to wireless methods like Wi-Fi or mobile data. This typically involves a physical connection from an internet service provider's network to a user's premises, often via copper or fiber optic cables.

The term encompasses various types of wired internet, including Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable internet, and fiber optic internet. DSL uses existing telephone lines, while cable internet utilizes the same coaxial cables as cable television. Fiber optic connections, considered the fastest and most reliable, transmit data using light signals through glass or plastic strands.

Lankaliittymää is generally known for its stability and speed, especially when compared to early wireless technologies. It is a common choice for homes and businesses requiring consistent and high-performance internet access for activities such as streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers. The setup usually involves a modem or router that connects to the incoming cable and then distributes the internet signal to devices within the premises. The availability and type of lankaliittymää can vary significantly depending on geographic location and the infrastructure provided by local telecommunication companies.
