ASK is a digital modulation technique that is used to transmit digital data over an analog carrier signal. The amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in accordance with the digital data being transmitted. ASK is a very simple and efficient way to transmit digital data and has been widely used in many applications such… Read More

The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) is an independent agency of the United States federal government responsible for the development of new technology for the military. ARPA was created in 1958 in response to the Soviet Union’s launch of Sputnik, which signaled their lead in the Space Race. ARPA’s mission is to ensure that America… Read More

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol used by computers to map an IP address to a physical address, such as a MAC address. ARP is used on Ethernet networks and other network types that support hardware addresses. When a computer sends an IP packet to another computer on the same network, it first checks… Read More

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private, non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. ANSI also accredits organizations that certify products and personnel against these standards. ANSI was founded in 1918 as the United Engineering Societies (UES), a federation… Read More

AMI is a type of digital communication used to transmit data using pulses. The signal is inverted, or reversed, at specific intervals to create a unique code. This code can be decoded by the receiver to reconstruct the original message. AMI has several advantages over other digital communication methods. It is very efficient in terms… Read More
Continue ReadingAM – Amplitude Modulation
Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave. AM works by varying the amplitude of the carrier wave in accordance with the information being sent. The receiver detects these amplitude changes and converts them back into the original information. One advantage of AM… Read More

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric-key block cipher used by the U.S. government to protect classified information. AES was selected as a replacement for the Data Encryption Standard (DES) in 2001 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). AES is a strong encryption algorithm that is difficult to break. It uses… Read More

AES – Advanced Encryption Standard is a symmetric-key algorithm that was developed in the United States. AES is used to protect electronic data and it can be used with a variety of different modes and sizes. AES is considered to be very secure and it has been adopted by the US government as well as… Read More

ADSL is a type of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, which is used to connect computers to the Internet. It uses a copper telephone line, but unlike regular dial-up service, it does not interfere with voice telephone calls. ADSL was first introduced in the late 1990s as a way to provide high-speed Internet access over… Read More
Continue ReadingACD – Automated Call Distributor
An ACD, or Automated Call Distributor, is a telephone system that automatically routes incoming calls to the next available agent. It is typically used in contact centers and other customer service environments. ACDs are beneficial because they help to improve efficiency and reduce wait times for customers. They can also help to ensure that calls… Read More
