Baseband is the name given to a transmission method in which the entire bandwidth (the rate at which information travels through a network connection) is used to transmit just one signal. Baseband is a cheaper method than broadband and is typically used for shorter distances of transmission. The digital signals that are carried via baseboard are un-modulated meaning that the signal is not adjusted before hand. Baseboard is commonly used in LAN networks; Local Area Networks, that are most commonly used in offices.
