Broadband
(redirected from Carrierband)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.06 sec.
Broadband
A high-speed, high-capacity transmission medium that can carry signals from multiple independent network carriers. This is done on a single coaxial or fiber-optic cable by establishing different bandwidth channels. Broadband technology can support a wide range of frequencies. It is used to transmit data, voice, and video over long distances simultaneously.

Notes:
Broadband Internet access is much faster than dial-up access. It is similar to the difference between a brand new sports car and a horse drawn carriage.
