When future historians come to write about the digitalization of society and the role that the Internet played, the humble modem will likely receive significant mention. Simply put, the 24/7 connection that people rely on to provide them with access to the Web would be virtually impossible without this piece of the puzzle.

Modems translate the digital signals that come from an ISP and turn them into a connection that, for example, an installed Wi-Fi router can then broadcast. In other words, the modem is one of the reasons why every connected device in your home or workplace can provide you with the information or services that you... need when you ask for them.

In addition, Internet Service Providers (ISP) rely on a modem’s capabilities to deliver the Internet speeds that the average person wants. All ISPs are different, but there will always be one of three options: cable, DSL, or Fiber. All these types of modems are naturally contingent on what they are being used for and the level of end-user activity.

Today’s hyper-connected digital ecosystem means that the role of the modem can be overlooked. The device is often linked to the days when dialup was the only option, and this technology is still a critical part of how and where we connect. Dialup access is not as prevalent as it once was, albeit there are millions of people across the globe who rely on telephone-enabled devices for efficient Internet access.

Connecting to a network via a modem can be as simple as plugging an ethernet cable into the back of a device. This activity is more than sufficient for basic Internet access and allows companies to conduct their business with not only relative ease but also without the requirement for ubiquitous wireless connectivity.

A modem’s role in a connected ecosystem is further highlighted by the sheer number of devices that are currently available for both business and personal use. Ownership of a modem does not have to be costly. Let’s not forget that an ISP is more likely to rent you a device on a monthly basis. And there are well-known brands that have continued to update their modems to align with customer requirements.
