What is a baseband network?
A baseband network is one that provides a single channel for communications across the physical medium (e.g., cable), so only one device can transmit at a time. Devices on a baseband network, such as Ethernet, are permitted to use all the available bandwidth for transmission, and the signals they transmit do not need to be multiplexed onto a carrier frequency. An analogy is a single phone line such as you usually have to your house: Only one person can talk at a timeif more than one person wants to talk everyone has to take turns.
