Modem (English)

Japanese: モデム(英語表記)modem
Modem (English)
A device used to send and receive data from one computer to another using a communication line such as a telephone. An abbreviation for modulator demodulator. It has the function of converting between digital signals for computers and analog signals for telephone lines. Standardization is based on the V series recommendations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Telecommunication Standardization Sector. Downstream (from the line to the computer) communication is possible at a speed of 56 kilobits per second (kbps). Models that comply with the V.90 standard are mainstream, but communication between computers is often now via digital lines or LANs. Modems for connecting to digital public lines such as ISDN are often called terminal adapters.
