Bandwidth is the capacity of a telecommunications line or wave to carry signals. The necessary bandwidth is the amount of spectrum required to transmit the signal without distortion or loss of information. FCC rules require suppression of the signal outside the band to prevent interference.
Bandwidth is also a measure of the "speed" of an Internet connection.[1]
