What is Node

1.

A device that partially amplifies and transfers digital signals in order to extend the distance of the transmission. Nodes are also known as ‘digital repeaters’ or ‘digipeaters’. Learn more in: Adaptation of Winlink 2000 Emergency Amateur Radio Email Network to a VHF Packet Radio Infrastructure

2.

A device, such as a computer, that forms an intersection in a computer network. Learn more in: Introduction: How Frontier Technologies Are Changing Our World

3.

Any electronic devise that connects to the distributed ledger network whereby contribute and use resources. There are two types of nodes i.e. the full-node and the lightweight-node. Wallets are operating through nodes. Learn more in: Innovation Finance Beyond Bitcoin: Cryptocurrencies as Alternative Investments

4.

An entity within the hierarchical scene structure that represents a group of objects. Learn more in: Virtual Environments for Geospatial Applications

5.

In radio communications, a node (i.e. a repeater) is a device that amplifies or regenerates the signal in order to extend the distance of the transmission. Repeaters are available for both analog (voice) and digital (data) signals. ‘Digipeater is frequently used abbreviated name for a digital repeater.

14.

A point of connection on a network. Some schedulers require a job to specify how many nodes it requires. A node consists of one or more central processing units (CPU’s). Each processor may have multiple threads running on them that share code and data but have different stacks.
