Bandwidth Parameter of signal transmission systems in telecommunications (e.g. IP-based networks) which describes and classifies the theoretical data transmission performance. The bandwidth of the transmission path (e.g. network cable) determines the maximum theoretical data trans- mission rate which can be reliably transmitted per unit of time and is the difference between an upper and lower frequency value within a frequency range in which the data transmission takes place by means of signals. The greater the bandwidth, the more information can be trans- mitted per unit of time. Bandwidth is expressed as a frequency value in units of Hertz (Hz), if necessary with unit suffixes (M for Mega = mil- lions) (e.g. 300 MHz). Colloquially, bandwidth is also used as a synonym for the data transmission rate within IP-based networks, although nor- mally the transfer rate or data rate is meant.
