1. a combined device for modulation and demodulation, for example, between the digital data of a computer and the analog signal of a phone line.
3. the core piece of hardware used for networking connectivity
5. A star network is an implementation of a spoke–hub distribution paradigm in computer networks. In a star network, every host is connected to a central hub. In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a conduit to transmit messages. The star network is one of the most common computer network topologies.
6. a power tool with a shaped cutter, used in carpentry for making grooves for joints, decorative moldings, etc.
9. A wide area network is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic area. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits.
11. a series of computers linked together to form a network in a circumscribed location.
