What is a network modem?

A network modem, also known as a modem, is a device that connects a computer or a local area network (LAN) to the internet or another network. It converts digital signals from the computer into analog signals that can be transmitted over telephone lines or other communication channels. The modem also receives analog signals and converts them back into digital signals that can be understood by the computer.
