You mean modem for computers. It is for accessing internet connection. There are various kinds of modems. If you have a wireless modem, you can work in your laptop sitting inside your room. Modem will be connected to the main computer.

We know that broadband connections are obtained from ISPs. They provide us this facility only through the telephone cables. Telephone cable can carry only analog signals. But PC operates on digital signal. So the signal is to be converted. In order to do this conversion, we need MODEM (MODULATOR<->DEMODULATOR)

Modem is used when we have net connection. It is very important because messages come from far off places crossing through mountains and rivers. If a modem is used the the signal will be clear.
