About

This site is a repository of information on the bandwidth requirements of various applications.

Bandwidth requirements are poorly understood (and sometimes misrepresented). To help remedy this, we here provide links to a wide range of primary sources. These sources include:

  • Vendor statements of technical requirements
  • Trade press
  • Credible third party assessements


We also provide links to more general discussions of issues related to bandwidth requirements - for example, reports on the progress of video compression.

This is a rapidly moving area, and we will do our best to provide regular updates. However, if you feel we've missed something, please do let us know.

This site is primarily maintained by Robert Kenny of Communications Chambers.
