Refers to low speed network connection that uses narrow bandwidth.
A communications channel of restricted bandwidth, often resulting in degradation of the transmitted signal.
This medium is capable of carrying voice, fax, paging, and relatively slow-speed data (not full video applications), typically at 64Kbps or less.
Digital communication at the 64 Kbps or lower rate.
An RF signal that requires 12.5 kHz of spectrum bandwidth to deliver intelligible information.
Any analog signal or analog representation of a digital signal whose essential spectral content is limited to that which can be contained within a voice channel of nominal 4-kHz bandwidth.
Communication technologies with a data transmission capacity of under 300 Kbit/s. Includes online interactive services (e.g. Internet), voice, facsimile services, slow-scan video images and low-rate data transmission.
A term to describe slow speed dialup connections. The term contrasts with 'broadband'.
A channel with bandwidth less than or equal to one voice and a slow data transfer rate, a low-capacity communications circuit or path. – Back to Remote Access
A channel of about 25 KHz bandwidth in the RF spectrum.
Traditionally, a channel with bandwidth less than or equal to one voice-grade line. With advances in network technology, narrowband has come to be associated with any channel operating at less than 1.544Mbps, such as Narrowband ISDN (NISDN). Contrast with Broadband and Wideband.
A term used to describe a data connection under 56Kbps.
Narrowband refers to relatively low-speed methods of accessing the Internet, such as a ordinary telephone line and modem. Broadband refers to high-speed methods of accessing the Internet, like ISDN and cable modems.
A data connection under 64 kbps that transmits data at significantly slower speeds than a broadband connection can. A narrowband connection can carry voice, fax, paging and slow-speed data, but not full-video applications. Source: cable-modem.net
A relative term used to describe the raw bandwidth of a communication channel. Examples of narrowband signals include ordinary telephone conversation, low speed computer modems, fax machines, and music.
A term applied to telecommunications facilities capable of carrying only voice, facsimile images, slow-scan video images, and data transmissions at ?kilobit? speeds. The term is commonly applied to voice-grade analog facilities (dial-up) and to digital facilites operating at low speeds (less than 1.544 Mbps).
A communications channel that transmits at rates less than what broadband systems do.
Internet connection that is not broadband - i.e. less than 512kbps.
A signal where the transmission bandwidth is on the order of its information bandwidth.
A communications channel, such as copper wire or part of a coaxial cable channel, that transmits voice, facsimile or data at rates less than broadband systems.
A bandwidth of 64kbit/s or less.
A data transmission system that has a small bandwidth and thus can carry only limited amounts of information. It can also mean a transmission medium or channel with a single voice channel. Traditional copper telephone lines (POTS) with standard switching devices and other telephone hardware, are often narrowband
A transmission system with insufficient bandwidth to carry high quality, full-motion video, for example a standard public telephone system. Contrasts with Broadband.
a service or connection allowing only a limited amount of information to be conveyed, such as for telephony. This compares with broadband which allows a considerable amount of information to be conveyed.
A designation of bandwidth that runs at less than 56 KB per second.
a telecommunications medium, such as copper wire or part of a coaxial cable channel, that uses (relatively) low frequency signals. Generally speaking, narrowband transmissions go up to 1.544 Mbps.
Narrowband is a communication transmission channel with a small bandwidth and a slow data transfer rate.
Networks designed for voice transmission but can accommodate transmission of low speed data.
Refers to an older, slower network connection, though there is no single speed associated with the term. See also Broadband.
a low bandwidth or data rate transmission, typically less than 2 megabits a second.
1) In data transmission, a limited range of frequencies. 2) More specifically, a network in which data transmission speeds range from 50 Bps to 64 Kbps. See also Broadband.
Bandwidth that is low, relative to the transmission medium. In telecommunications, a channel that is not capable of E1 data rates.
a dial-up connection allowing only a limited amount of information to be conveyed, such as voice telephony. Usually refers to bandwidth 128 Kbit/s.
A low-capacity communications circuit/path. It usually implies a speed of 56Kbps or less. (Contrast with wideband and broadband)
Definition: An internet communication channel with a low data rate. Typically a dial up internet channel with a download speed at or below 56k baud.
Narrowband is a term usually associated with low bandwidth Internet connections like ISDN and 56Kbps modems.
A communications link consisting of bandwidth less than or equal to 64 Kbps.
Generally refers to delivery channels capable of carrying line speeds less than 1.5 Mbps.
(as opposed to Broadband) Generally this term describes the lower bandwidth services such as 56Kbps dial – up services, much slower speeds than broadband.
A term describing non-broadband, slower Internet connections.
A service or connection allowing only a limited amount of information to be conveyed, for example a modem connection or even two channel ISDN. features: Battle of the Bandwidths related index entries: BANDWIDTH
Using a standard telephone line with a conventional narrowband modem, this is the traditional method of connecting to the internet, transferring data at up to 56 Kbps. Most users will find it too slow and will yearn for broadband.
Narrowband is the term given to slow speed network connections. Typically this relates to any speed slower than ISDN, 128kbps.
The opposite of broadband. Normally used to refer to a modem running at a speed of 56Kbps or less (dial-up speeds).
Generally, narrowband describes telecommunication that carries voice information in a narrow band of frequencies. More specifically, the term has been used to describe a specific frequency range set aside by the U.S. FCC for mobile or radio services, including paging systems, from 50 cps to 64 Kbps. The term is usually contrasted with wideband or broadband.
A designation of bandwidth less than 56 kilobits per second.
A communication channel with a bandwidth of typically less than 64 Kbps.
Term used to describe communications services or equipment that operate over a relatively narrow bandwidth. The PSTN is normally a narrowband network. Communications channels of less than 2Mbps (usually c56Kbps) are usually considered to be narrowband. See also Broadband.
A classification of the information capacity or bandwidth of a communication channel. Narrowband is generally taken to mean a bandwidth of 64 kbps or below.
In communications, a voice-grade transmission channel of 2400 bits per second or less. ... more
A service occupying low bandwidth (64Kbps or below).
Narrowband (narrow bandwidth) refers to a signal which occupies only a small amount of space on the radio spectrum — the opposite of broadband or wideband.
