Uplink

Uplink refers to the communication link that allows data to be transmitted from a local device or network to a broader communication system, like a satellite or internet service provider’s infrastructure. It's essentially the process of sending information outward, such as uploading files to the cloud or sending data from a remote device. In the context of networking, uplink connections typically connect a smaller network, like a home or office network, to a larger network, such as the internet. This term highlights the flow of data moving away from the user or local system toward a central or external platform.
