What Does ATM Stand For?
ATM stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode
ATM, or Asynchronous Transfer Mode, is a high-speed network technology designed for the transfer of data, voice, and video across telecommunication networks. It operates using fixed-size packets, known as cells, which facilitate efficient and rapid data transmission by allowing for low-latency communication. ATM is characterized by its ability to provide quality of service (QoS) guarantees, making it suitable for applications requiring real-time data delivery. This technology is often used in broadband communications, including digital subscriber lines (DSL) and fiber-optic networks, enhancing overall network performance and reliability.
