| | NADH (North American Digital Hierarchy) (Linktionary term) |
 | | Early core transmission facilities used frequency division multiplexing, but in the 1960s this system was largely replaced with the PDH (plesiochronous digital hierarchy), which is a system of multiplexing numerous individual channels into higher-level channels. |
 | | Traditionally, each channel was a digitized voice call, but video information and data may also occupy a channel. |
 | | The basic channel is 64 Kbits/sec, which is the amount of bandwidth required to transmit a voice call that has been converted from analog to digital using a sampling rate of 8,000 times per second with the sample represented as an 8-bit value (8 × 8,000 = 64 Kbits/sec). |
