Technical Terms - Internet (A-Z) - ATM

What does ATM stand for in the computer world?

• Advanced Technology Module

• Automated Teller Machine

• Automatic Transfer Mechanism

• Asynchronous Transfer Mode

What is the size of the cells used in ATM technology?

• 64 bytes

• 48 bytes

• 53 bytes

• 32 bytes

What is the purpose of using 53-byte cells in ATM technology?

• To maintain data transfer speeds

• To reduce the efficiency of ISPs

• To increase the size of data packets

• To slow down data transfer speeds

What is the data transfer speed that ATM technology can achieve?

• Over 500 mbps

• Over 800 mbps

• Over 600 mbps

• Over 700 mbps

What type of media was ATM technology designed for?

• Full-motion video

• Text only

• Basic graphics

• Audio only

How does ATM technology ensure that no single transmission takes up all the bandwidth?

• By using large data packets

• By using small cells

• By reducing the data transfer speed

• By increasing the surcharge

What benefit does ATM technology provide to ISPs?

• It assigns limited bandwidth to each customer

• It reduces the overall speed of the connection

• It increases the surcharge for customers

• It slows down data transfer speeds

What grade level is suitable for understanding ATM technology?

• Grade 8

• Grade 10

• Grade 6

• Grade 12

What is the main difference between ATM in banking and ATM in networking?

• Networking ATMs are slower

• Banking ATMs charge a surcharge

• Banking ATMs transfer data in packets

• Networking ATMs use fixed-size cells

What is the primary advantage of using ATM technology for data transmission?

• Higher surcharge for customers

• Increased bandwidth usage

• Faster overall speed for everyone

• Unlimited data transfer speeds
