Modem is a contraction of modulator/demodulator, which transforms a
digital bit stream into an analogue signal (in the modulator),
and vice versa (in the demodulator) so that the digital
signal can be passed over an analogue channel.
In a broadband
Internet connection, the broadband modem is in the customer's
premises, and is used to encode signals sent to the
ISP and decode signals received from the ISP.
