What does baseband and broadband mean?
A baseband network has a single channel that is used for communication between stations. Ethernet specifications which use BASE in the name refer to baseband networks. A broadband network is much like cable television, where different services communicate across different frequencies on the same cable. Broadband communications would allow a Ethernet network to share the same physical cable as voice or video services. 10BROAD36 is an example of broadband networking.
