baseband
A transmission method in which a network uses its entire transmission range to send a single signal. Because many baseband networks use twisted-pair cables, they're cheaper to install than broadband networks, which require coaxial cable. However, a baseband system is limited in its geographic extent and provides only one channel of communication at a time.
