  broadband
       
           A transmission medium capable of supporting a
          wide range of frequencies, typically from audio up to video
          frequencies.  It can carry multiple signals by dividing the
          total capacity of the medium into multiple, independent
          bandwidth channels, where each channel operates only on a
          specific range of frequencies.
