What are the 4 types of modem?Types of Modem. Cable Modems. Cable modems help in establishing communication between computer and ISP over landline connection. ... . Telephone Modems. These modems are network devices that allow data communication between two computers over voice-grade telephone lines. ... . Dial modems. ... . Satellite Modems. ... . Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). What is called modem?modem, (from “modulator/demodulator”), any of a class of electronic devices that convert digital data signals into modulated analog signals suitable for transmission over analog telecommunications circuits.
Is a cable modem a modem?The cable modem bridges Ethernet frames between a customer LAN and the coax network. Technically, it is a modem because it must modulate data to transmit it over the cable network, and it must demodulate data from the cable network to receive it.
What type of device is a modem?A modulator-demodulator or modem is a computer hardware device that converts data from a digital format into a format suitable for an analog transmission medium such as telephone or radio.
Is a modem needed for cable TV?Putting both upstream and downstream data on the cable television system requires two types of equipment: a cable modem on the customer end and a cable modem termination system (CMTS) at the cable provider's end.
