In data communication, ATM is an acronym for Asynchronous Transfer Mode.

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) The acronym ATM stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode and refers to a communication protocol which can be used to transfer data, videos and speech. ... A key characteristic of asynchronous transfer mode transmission protocol is the fixed length of ATM cells.

Asynchronous transmission is also referred to as start stop in telecommunications, asynchronous communication of data, generally without examples packet mode data link protocols that can be are transferred using synchronous serial the hdlc, ethernet, ppp transfer sender and receiver use same clock signal provides.

Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a switching technique used by telecommunication networks that uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing to encode data into small, fixed-sized cells. This is different from Ethernet or internet, which use variable packet sizes for data or frames.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a set of protocols used for computer networks. It is mostly used for Wide Area Networks (WAN). It splits the data, and encodes it into packets of a fixed size. Each packet can be routed differently, along virtual paths set up in the network.
