They translate analog signals that move through a cable or over the air into digital bits, which form the binarycode that's comprehensible to a computer.
That means that once voices, data or video streams are translated into binary computer code, the system uses available bandwidth with great efficiency, and will effortlessly work around any disruption in the system (like a car bomb).
The company also draws on generative programming to automate some parts of code writing and on intentional programming, which captures a programmer's initial design plans as code, in a more natural form than binary algebra.
