Refers to the amount of data that can pass through a transmission channel while transmitting data from one computer to another in a given period of time. The normal metric for the bandwidth is 'bits per second'(bps), it is also known as the maximum data transfer rate.
This is the monthly measurement of data coming in and out of the server, and specifically your website. Sites are given a guide amount of potential traffic they can receive. Bandwidth is measured in GB - gigabytes (1,000 megabytes), and is recorded/calculated when a file is downloaded. 1 GB of bandwidth as a guide provide approx 100,000 hits (which are individual file requests, i.e pictures, web pages, media) a month. Additional bandwidth can be added to your account on an ad-hoc basis.
The amount of spectrum a communication channel (analog or digital) uses, measured in hertz (Hz).
The size of a network "pipe" or channel for communications in wired networks. In wireless, it refers to the range of available frequencies that can carry a signal. It is the portion of the frequency spectrum required to transmit desired information. Each radio channel has a centre frequency and additional frequencies above and below this carrier frequency, which is used to carry the transmitted information. The range of frequencies from the lowest to the highest one used is called the bandwidth.
The range of frequencies over which a signal is allocated for transmission. KAET's analog and digital transmitters are each allocated 6 megahertz (MHz) of bandwith in which to transmit its signal by the FCC.
The amount of data that can be transmitted via a given communications channel (e.g., between a hard drive and the host PC) in a given unit of time.
In communications, the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies in a given range. For example, a telephone line accommodates a bandwidth of 3000 Hz, the difference between the lowest (300Hz) and highest (3300 Hz) frequencies it can carry. In computer networks, greater bandwidth indicates faster data-transfer capability and is expressed in bits per second (bps).
The difference between the upper and lower limits of a given band of frequencies. Expressed in Hertz.
