 | | Communications (e.g., broadcast television, microwave, and satellite) capable of carrying a wide range of frequencies; refers to transmission of signals in a frequency-modulated fashion, over a segment of the total bandwidth available, thereby permitting simultaneous transmission of several messages. |
 | | Transmission wire(s) covered by an insulating layer, a shielding layer, and an outer jacket; used for data, voice, and video transmissions; can transmit either broadband (several signals) or baseband (one signal). |
 | | Transmission of static images or audio-video clips to a remote data storage device, from which they can be retrieved by a medical practitioner for review and consultation at any time, obviating the need for the simultaneous availability of the consulting parties and reducing transmission costs due to low bandwidth requirements. |
