In telecommunications, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a standardized approach to digital data transmission for sending and receiving voice, data and multimedia over a single network.  ATM is a multiplexing and switching technology that utilizes a fixed-size packet, called a cell, to transfer data. Each cell is identified with virtual circuit identifiers which are contained in the cell header. ATM can handle high bandwidth requirements and operate over wire or optical fiber.  ATM supports local area networking (LAN) and wide area networking (WAN).
