broadband
Refers to a fast internet connection with a high data transfer rate, which is necessary, for example, for video streaming or online games.
In ländlichen Gebieten ist der Ausbau von Breitband immer noch eine große Herausforderung.
In rural areas, the expansion of broadband is still a major challenge.
broadband
In physics and communications engineering, a frequency band with a large bandwidth that enables the simultaneous transmission of many signals or channels.
Die Daten werden über ein Breitband-Signal gesendet, um die hohe Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit zu gewährleisten.
The data is sent via a broadband signal to ensure the high transmission speed.
The word is made up of 'breit' (wide) and 'Band' (band). It literally describes a 'wide band', which can refer both to a wide frequency band in technology and metaphorically to a 'wide data highway' for the internet.
Ein breites Frequenzband erlaubt die Übertragung von mehr Informationen.
A wide frequency band allows more information to be transmitted.
You can recognize the meaning from the context. If people are talking about 'Internet' (internet), 'Anschluss' (connection), or 'Ausbau' (expansion), it means the fast internet connection. In texts about physics or technology with words like 'Frequenz' (frequency) or 'Signal' (signal), it means the technical frequency band.
Unser Dorf bekommt endlich einen schnellen Breitband-Anschluss.
Our village is finally getting a fast broadband connection.
In connection with the internet, the most common combinations are 'der Breitband-Anschluss' (the broadband connection), 'der Breitband-Ausbau' (broadband expansion), and 'eine Breitband-Verbindung' (a broadband connection).
Der Breitband-Ausbau auf dem Land geht nur langsam voran.
Broadband expansion in the countryside is progressing only slowly.
The meaning from physics and communications engineering is purely technical language. In everyday life, you will almost exclusively encounter the meaning that refers to the internet.
Für die Analyse benötigen wir ein Breitband-Spektrometer.
For the analysis, we need a broadband spectrometer.
bandwidth / range
Both words can be used in connection with fast internet, but they do not mean the same thing. Bandbreite is the measurable amount of data that a connection can transmit per unit of time; Breitband refers to the high-performance internet access itself. Talk about the capacity of Bandbreite and the connection or access provided by Breitband.
Viele Familien nutzen Breitband, damit sie Filme ohne lange Wartezeiten streamen können.
Many families use broadband so they can stream films without long waits.
Für mehrere Videokonferenzen gleichzeitig braucht unser Anschluss eine hohe Bandbreite.
Our connection needs high bandwidth to support several video conferences at the same time.
