Ülekanded

Ülekanded is an Estonian noun with several related meanings, depending on context. It is the plural form commonly used for the acts of transferring something or transmitting information. The term is widely used in media, finance and IT language, and its meaning is shaped by the domain in which it appears.

In broadcasting and telecommunications, ülekanded refer to the transmission of audio or video content from a sender to receivers. This includes radio and television broadcasts, live streams, and on‑demand presentations. A broadcast may be described as an ülekande event, with discussion often focusing on time slots, channels or platforms, as well as the technical paths involved in distribution to end users.

In finance, ülekanded denote transfers of money between bank accounts or payment systems. They can be domestic or international and may occur via online banking, card networks, or other transfer mechanisms. In accounting and banking contexts, these transfers are recorded separately from payments for goods and services.

In information technology and networking, the term can also apply to data or signal transfers between devices, servers or networks, including file transfers and protocol communications. The broad use of ülekanded across domains reflects the underlying idea of moving information, value or signals from one point to another.
