A computer networking technique where digital signals travel over the connecting wires directly and in digital form instead of being modulated onto a carrier for transmission and demodulated at the receiving end. Baseband networks are typically simpler as they often use twisted pair phone-like wires instead of large cables. And, because they transmit digital data directly, the circuitry is also simpler. This, however, usually results in a single channel of information unless complex time division multiplexing electronics is added to the network.
