Bandwidth Information
Understanding your network requirements
Bandwidth vs Speed
Bandwidth is the maximum data transfer rate of a network, while speed is the actual transfer rate experienced by users.
Concurrent Usage
Not all users will be active at the same time. Estimate what percentage will use the network simultaneously.
Video Requirements
Video streaming and conferencing consume the most bandwidth. HD video requires 5-10Mbps per stream.
Cloud Services
Cloud applications require consistent bandwidth. Factor in 2-5Mbps per user for cloud-based services.
Overhead Buffer
Always add 20-30% overhead to your calculated bandwidth for peak usage and network management.
Future Growth
Plan for 20-50% more bandwidth than currently needed to accommodate future growth and new technologies.
