A measure of data transmission or network speed equaling approximately one million bits per second. Frequency is often expressed in megahertz. N Network speed The rate at which information travels from one PC to another. Speed is usually measured in megabits per second, and is also referred to as bandwidth. Noise Extraneous or unwanted signals on a network.
Excessive noise impedes network operation reducing the effective speed of the network.
Phoneline networking A network that passes data over telephone lines rather than using radio frequency transmissions, or traditional Ethernet wiring. S Shared bandwidth Refers to the fact that several devices or PCs on a network divide up the network's data transmission capacity. In most homes the 1 Mbps bandwidth available on a phoneline-based network is divided among two or three active PCs. The AnyPoint Home Network USB Models connect to your PC's USB port.
