verkkokortilta

Verkkokortti, also known as a network interface card (NIC) or network adapter, is a piece of computer hardware that allows a computer to connect to a network. It acts as an interface between the computer and the network medium, such as Ethernet cables or Wi-Fi signals. Verkkokortti translates data from the computer into a format that can be transmitted over the network and vice versa.

Modern computers often have integrated verkkokortti built directly into the motherboard. However, separate verkkokortti can also be added as expansion cards, typically plugged into PCI or PCIe slots. These cards can offer enhanced performance, additional features, or support for different network types.

Verkkokortti are essential for network communication, enabling devices to share resources, access the internet, and communicate with each other. They are fundamental components in both wired and wireless networking environments.
