An arrangement, either permanent or temporary, in which the same data flows or is transferred from a single origin to multiple destinations; the arrival of the data at all the destinations is expected to occur at the same time or nominally the same time.
Communications network that provides a path from one location to multiple locations.
A communications, logistics or other network in which data travels in a one-way direction from a central point to multiple remote sites.
A type of network with a central hub and multiple remote clients.
A type of subscriber radio system in which a number of outlying localities within line-of-sight of a single station or repeater can be connected into the telephone network at one central point. The central station is usually co-located or directly connected with the exchange and thus provides the technical network interface between the remote subscribes and the telephone exchange service. This system is commonly used in rural areas to connect widely dispersed subscribers into the network.
Another term for broadcast.
A conference configuration which allows information to be communicated from one point to many points. In some point-to-multipoint teleconferencing systems, the receive sites can transmit back to the point of origination, but not to the other receive sites. Standard broadcast television is a point to multipoint scenario.
Service provided one-way from one POP/Customer Premise to Multiple POPs /customer Premise.
A network configuration in which a major hub is connected to many subsidiary nodes. Also called a star network.
Transmission between multiple locations using a bridge.
A wireless network in which one point (the access point) serves multiple other points around it. Indoor wireless networks are all point-to-multipoint, and long-range wireless networks that serve multiple clients usually employ either a single omnidirectional antenna or multiple sector antennas.
Communication Point-to-Multipoint refers to staellite's ability of broadcasting and multicasting. This architecture provides a powerful platform for video broadcasting services and for data multicast applications. With regard to cost, satellites are unrivaled when it comes to broadcast TV signals to language regions or continents.
