👉 In the context of telecommunications and information technology, "ungranular" refers to a communication system that does not require any form of physical separation or transmission. This type of communication is typically used for low-bandwidth networks like cell towers and mobile networks, where signals are transmitted in a single, unbroken stream without any intermediate points. Ungranular systems are often used because they offer higher data rates at lower costs than granular systems (i.e., those that require separate physical connections).
