adressable

Adressable is a variant spelling of addressable, a term used to describe something that can be addressed or targeted by a specific address or identifier. The term has multiple applications across technology and advertising, with nuances that vary by domain.

In computing and networking, an addressable object has a unique address within a system, enabling direct access or communication. Addressable memory refers to memory locations that can be read or written via an address, and address space defines the range of addresses available to software or hardware. In networking, addressable devices can be located and communicated with by their network addresses, such as IP or MAC addresses, supporting scalable interaction in distributed systems.

In electronics, addressable LEDs are LEDs or LED strings that can be controlled individually at the unit level. Communication protocols used for addressable LEDs, such as WS2812, WS2811, or APA102, transmit color and brightness data to each LED in a sequence. Addressable lighting enables complex animations and dynamic effects in displays, signage, and installations.

In digital advertising, addressable advertising refers to delivering ads to a defined audience across channels by using data to identify individuals or households. This typically involves identity resolution, data management platforms, and programmatic channels, with attention to privacy and regulatory compliance.
