Modem: A hardware device that enables computers to transmit data over communication lines or wireless signals. This process involves converting digital signals into analog signals (modulation) for transmission and then back into digital signals (demodulation) upon receipt. By facilitating data transmission, modems play a vital role in internet connectivity and the network’s overall integrity and performance.
