A wifi network is an incredible piece of technology that allows us to connect to the internet wirelessly. No matter where you are, a strong and stable wifi network is always helpful. And nowadays, with fast internet and good wifi plans, you can do so much!
Now, we all are very much aware that fast internet helps to get a lot more done in very less time. In addition, it also boosts your productivity, keeps you efficient and helps you to achieve your daily goals, faster. But, have you ever wondered about the technology that powers this?
So, what is broadband?
We can define broadband as the high-speed internet connection that is delivered to your home. It is a permanent internet connection and is incredibly stable. It brings the internet connectivity to your doorstep through a cable network.
Some internet service providers use the traditional copper wires as their preferred choice of network. However, we at Airtel, have upgraded our services according to the modern day demands. As a result, we only offer broadband connection to our users via an optical fiber network.
How broadband works?
As we have mentioned above, the broadband network is established via cables. Its main feature lies in the fact that it can divide a single cable line into multiple channels for exchanging data, to and fro.
By dividing the cable into multiple channels, the data can be sent parallelly. These channels usually consist of downloads, uploads, and voice. Now, the broadband connection allocates channels to these sections because whenever you are surfing the web, you are primarily working around these. You mostly download and upload information via the internet.
The broadband internet that is provided to your home needs a router to convert the signal into a wifi network. The routers release a range of waves which help you to connect your phone to the router. Thereafter, you are able to access the internet through the router’s connected broadband plan.
So, is broadband and wifi the same thing?
Not exactly. Broadband is the signal that is transmitted to you via the optical fiber cables to your home. On the other hand, the waves that are transmitted through your router are Wifi. Wifi is a wireless connection that helps your devices connect to the router and access the internet.
The advantages of broadband wifi plans over mobile data
Broadband is by far the superior network any day, when you compare it to mobile data. Here are a couple of reasons that make it so much better:
- Mobile data is unstable and unreliable. Broadband connection rarely ever goes out and provides constant internet speeds to users all through the day.
- Due to its instability, you cannot consider mobile data a reliable network for work from home or for your online learning needs. Getting a broadband network can help you massively in this regard.
- Broadband provides users with unlimited internet. Therefore, you no longer have to worry about exhausting your daily or monthly internet quota. This is not the case with your mobile prepaid or postpaid plan.
- You can connect as many devices as you wish to the home wifi, which is powered via the broadband network. On Airtel broadband, it doesn’t matter how many devices you are connecting to it. You will always experience the same blazing fast internet speed.
- High download and upload speed on broadband connection also help you to get more work done.
- With your Airtel wifi plans , you can also make wifi calls. Wifi calls can be a big help when you are experiencing frequent call drops in your home.
