The ability to get data into and out of G2, using a wide range of data sources, including databases, plant floor equipment, and other applications on a network. See also bridge.
The extent to which a computer or program can function in a network.
In a vector data set, the ability to trace connections through the various points within a network, such as a gas pipeline, or telephone network.
The ability to connect your PDA or computer electronically with other computers, printers, or fax machines. The connection can be achieved through an internal computer network, EDI, the Internet, or a combination of these methods. The transmission carrier can be electrical wires, phone lines, cable lines, infrared waves, or radio waves.
the ability to access the Internet and utilize online resources.
The ability to connect to one or another type of data link or network. The connec- tivity infrastructure includes the communication hardware and the associated link-access proto- cols for controlling access to the hardware links.
The ability of two or more computers to link up to each other and exchange information.
The ability to send and receive electronic information, or to link with other programs or devices.
The manner in which devices that form a network are connected to each other and how they interact.
1. The ability to find a path or "trace" through a network from a source to a given point. For example, connectivity is necessary to find the path along a network of streets to find the shortest or best route from a fire station to a fire. 2. A topographical construct.
A relative measurement of how well a settlement is connected to other settlements by, for instance, any transport network.
The ability to connect a piece of electronic equipment to data or telecommunications lines.
The devices that connect your computer to a network and/or the Internet. See Bandwidth.
Ability to establish electronic communications.
The ability of hardware devices or software to communicate with other hardware or software.
The ability to connect computer or communications systems to exchange data or share resources.
Refers to a program or device's ability to link with other programs and devices. For example, a program that can import data from a wide variety of other programs and can export data in many different formats is said to have good connectivity. However, computers that have difficulty linking into a network (many laptop computers, for example) have poor connectivity.
The ability to communicate between computers and terminals.
A computer buzzword that refers to a program or device's ability to link with other programs and devices.
The ability to connect to and communicate with multiple architectures on a single activity. back to the top
Refers to the transfer of data from one device to another through a communications provider. Often refers to the availability and speed of Internet access.
A blissful state of 'network nirvana' at all communication layers sought by all communications professionals.
Connectivity is the ability of a computer or other device to link to other devices. A laptop has poor connectivity because it is more difficult to connect it to a network than it is to connect a regular desktop computer. Source: TechSoup.org
The ability of a device to communicate with other devices through a data communications medium.
A buzzword that refers to a program or device's ability to link with other programs or devices. At AT&T Yahoo! we usually use this term to reflect your ability to connect to our network. For example, Members whose modems are not running current versions of flash code--even if it's a new modem--may experience poor connectivity with AT&T Yahoo
An algorithm that determines if two machines on different networks can communicate. If the machines can communicate, connectivity also determines which host names should be used and which TCP/IP routing information must be added.
Refers to a device's ability to link with other devices. Good connectivity makes a product very versatile, allowing its connection and use with many other devices.
The status regarding whether two computer systems are communicating with each other over either a local network or over the Internet. When computers are communicating with each other, there is said to be "connectivity" between them.
Property of a network that allows dissimilar devices to communicate with each other.
The provision of devices and cabling used for communicating or transmitting voice or data.
The amount of interaction in a system, the structure of the weights in an artificial neural network, or the relative number of edges in a graph.
A topological property relating to how geographical features are attached to one another functionally, spatially, or logically. In a water distribution system, connectivity would refer to the way pipes, valves, and reservoirs are attached, implying that water could be traced from its source in the network, from connection to connection, to any given final point. Functional, spatial and logical connectivity are examples of relationships that can be represented and analyzed in a GIS database.
The ability to use an electronic network to send and receive information between any locations, devices or business services.
The act of communicating between computers and terminals; the property of a network that allows dissimilar devices to communicate with one another.
In mathematics and computer science, connectivity is one of the basic concepts of graph theory. It is closely related to the theory of network flow problems. The connectivity of a graph is an important measure of its robustness as a network.
