How to Work Modem
The word “modem” is a contraction of the words modulator-demodulator. A modem is typically used to send digital data over a phone line.
The sending modem modulates the data into a signal that is compatible with the phone line, and the receiving modem demodulates the signal back into digital data. Wireless modems convert digital data into radio signals and back.
Modems came into existence in the 1960s as a way to allow terminals to connect to computers over the phone lines.
