What is a Wireless Modem?

Answer:
The term modem is short for modulator-demodulator.
A modem is a piece of equipment that converts digital signals into analog signals for transmission via a telephone line. The signals are then converted back into digital form in order to be processed by a receiving computer. A wireless modem connects signals to a wireless network instead of a telephone line.


The standard interface utilized for connecting external modems to computers is called RS-232. Almost all personal computers have an RS-232 port, which means that any external modem can be attached to them. Modem interfaces are standardized; however, there are various protocols for formatting the data.

There are different types of wireless modem interfaces. There are also specific wireless networks that support wireless modems.
