technology, which operates at narrowband rates of less than 64 kbps. Relatively speaking, ADSL is broadband in nature, even at very low operating rates. See also bandwidth, FCC, ISDN, ITU-T, narrowband, and wideband. 2. In the Local Area Network (LAN) domain, broadband refers to a multichannel RF-based (Radio Frequency-based) LAN, with the channels derived through frequency division multiplexing (FDM).The workstations and other attached digital devices access analog channels through radio frequency (RF) modems that accomplish the digital-to-analog conversion process. Broadband LANs commonly use 75-ohm CATV-type coax, and use CATV-style connectors, taps, filters, and amplifiers in a tree and branch topology, which essentially is a variation of the bus with multiple branches off of a main root bus, much as there are branches off of the main trunk of a tree.The only broadband LAN to gain any significant following was 10Broad36, which has long been considered obsolete. All other LANs are baseband in nature.
