Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a high-speed, point-to-point, switched network technology that uses fiber optic or Category 5 (Cat-5) copper cabling. ATM transmits data in cells rather than frames and can carry text, audio, and video. Each cell is a packet that contains 5 bytes of routing information and 48 bytes of data. Basic networks run at 155 Mbps, but implementations that use fiber optic cable can achieve speeds as high as 660 Mbps. The basic desktop standard runs at 25 Mbps. Products & Services
Single board computers (SBC) serve as the motherboard for instrumentation systems including modern PCs. SBCs are composed of a microprocessor, memory chip, and serial and parallel interfaces to communicate with other devices.

Network switches route packets between ports at the OSI layer 2, which means that (in Ethernet) the switches decide where incoming packets are transferred to, based on the NIC's 48-bit address.
