True/ False. Also tell correct statement it
if it is false.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

modem is a modulator-demodulator (bidirectional device). It allows some communications protocol to be converted to work across a different link, and then back again. So 30 years ago we’d have a computer using digital signals, a modem to convert those to analog sound signals, send that across the public phone system, then another modem to convert it back to digital to feed it to a computer. It need not be the internet, it might have been a bulletin board on a PC in someone’s basement.

I now have a cable modem to connect to the internet. It converts ethernet in my house to modulated RF on a cable TV system. At my ISP’s end, there is another modem that converts the RF back to ethernet, then probably a network switch and router than sends the signals over optical fibre to a central office and then to a network peering hub in the city. You need all of that to actually connect to the Internet, not just a modem.
