Broadband Internet Access

According to Trango Systems, the term Broadband Internet Access is defined by the speed of an Internet connection.  The term high-speed is used and usually refers to the speed of broadband access which is typically at least 256 kilobits per second, but more commonly as much as 1 megabits per second.  However, it is more than just speed of access, it is more about the extra capabilities of the Internet.  The word Broadband comes from "broadband width" and refers to high-capacity transmission medium capable of carrying multiple types of data over a single communications medium.  " So, 'Broadband Internet Access' can be defined as a two-way communication between an access network and an end user which is capable of supporting data, voice, and full-motion interactive video applications"  (Trango, para. 3).  As the resort grows and the number of employees continues to increase, the IT staff will need to keep checking band-width and band-speed to ensure that the IT system supports the educational activities and other IT functions required by the resort.
