Definitions of ATM:

Asynchronous Transfer Mode A high bandwidth, High speed (up to 155 Mbps), controlled-delay fixed-size packet switching and transmission system integrating multiple data types (voice, video, and data). Uses fixed-size packets also known as "cells" (ATM is often referred to as "cell relay").

Automated Teller Machine. An unmanned electronic device that performs basic teller functions, such as accepting deposits, cash withdrawals, and account balance inquiries.

Unit of pressure used in watch making to indicate water-resistance.
www.orolus.com/watchglossary.shtml
Communication technology that uses high-bandwidth, low-delay transport technology, and multiplexing techniques. Through dedicated media connections it provides simultaneous transport of voice, video, and data signals more than 50 times faster than current technology. May be used in phone and computer networks of the future.

Automatic teller machine
www.hfc.com/learn/Glossary.jst
A dedicated-connection switching technology that organizes digital data into 53-byte cell units and transmits them over a physical medium using digital signal technology. Individually, a cell is processed asynchronously relative to other related cells and is queued before being multiplexed over the transmission path. Because ATM is designed to be easily implemented by hardware (rather than software), faster processing and switching speeds are possible. ...

International standard for cell relay in which multiple service type (such as voice, video, or data) are conveyed in fixed-length (53-byte) cells. Fixed-length cells allow cell processing to occur in hardware, thereby reducing transit delays. ATM is designed to take advantage of high-speed transmission media such as E3, SONET, and T3.

is a global industry standard for broadband communications that uses high-speed switching capabilities to carry two digital signals of varying bandwidth.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode - This high speed network protocol is composed of 53 byte "cells" having 5 byte headers and 48 byte payloads. Because of its short packet length, it is especially good for real time voice and video.
www.novacon.com/faq.htm
Asynchronous Transfer Mode. A method for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth using a fixed size packet (called a cell). ATM is also known as "fast packet".

asynchronous transfer mode; a network architecture that divides messages into fixed-size units (cells) and establishes a switched connection between the originating and receiving stations; enables transmission of various types of data (video, audio, etc.) over the same line without one data type dominating the transmission.
www.sunrise.uk.com/glossary.html
Short for Asynchronous Transfer Mode, a network technology based on transferring data in cells or packets of a fixed size over a dedicated connection. The cell used with ATM is relatively small compared to units used with older technologies. The small, constant cell size allows ATM equipment to transmit video, audio, and computer data over the same network, and assure that no single type of data hogs the line.
www.creotec.com/index.php
An information transfer standard for routing high-speed, high-bandwidth traffic such as real-time voice and video, as well as general data bits.
www.comptia.org/sections/ssg/glossary.aspx
Asynchronous Transfer Mode. ATM is a high bandwidth, low delay, packet-like switching and multiplexing technique. Usable capacity is segmented into fixed-size cells, consisting of header and information fields.
www.levitonvoicedata.com/learning/glossary.asp
Asynchronous Transfer Mode. A component of ISDN. A switching technology that organizes digital data in 53 byte packets and transmits them using digital signal technology.

An option whose strike price is approximately the same as the current price of the underlying stock or future. For example, with IBM trading at $110, both the $110 call options and $110 put options are at the money.
www.ptisecurities.com/Glossary/GlossaryA.htm
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) a new communications standard that is currently in the later stages of development. ATM is designed to transfer voice, video, and other multimedia data that requires short bursts of large quantities of data that can survive small losses but must be broadcast in real time.
www.legend.co.uk/resources/gloss.html
An electronic device that, when activated by a STAR Cardholder through use of a magnetic stripe on a plastic card, is capable of automatically dispensing legal currency (of the country in which such device is located) directly from such device and can support the mandatory STAR ATM Transaction Set.
www.firstdata.com/abt_gloss_A.jsp
This is the new form of super-fast packet switching operating at speeds in the Gigabits/second.
www.satnews.com/free/glossary.html
a high-speed, fixed-packet data transport standard that interoperates with the switched circuit telephony network. Although providing valuable QoS features, ATM is being supplanted by less-expensive, IP-based standards that better interoperate with LANs and MANs.
mixonline.com/education/articles/audio_pedant_big_box/
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) The internationally agreed basis for broad band ISDN. A technology that enables all types of information (data, voice and video in any combination) to be transported by a single network infrastructure.
www.education.tas.gov.au/wiseweb/appendices/glossary.htm
Asynchronous Transfer Mode. An international standard for high-speed broadband packet-switched networks operating at broadband digital transmission speeds. The technology is based on fixed-length, 53-byte cells. ATM includes protocols that specify how diverse kinds of traffic are transformed into standardized packets whose transport can be managed uniformly within the network.

A method of sending data in irregular time intervals using a code such as ASCII. ATM allows most modern computers to communicate with one another.
