Explanation

A modem is an external or internal device whose function is to transmit digital data over communication lines. Traditional modems once used frequently with dial-up networks convert analog data from telephone lines into computer digital data. Broadband modems transfer digital data between two digital devices. However, they do not modulate data into images.
