bandwidth
Significado: The maximum rate at which data can be transferred over a network connection; informally, a person's capacity or availability to handle tasks.
In computing and telecommunications, bandwidth is measured in bits per second and determines the speed and volume of data transfer. Higher bandwidth allows faster downloads, smoother streaming, and better performance. The term has been widely adopted as business jargon meaning mental or time capacity, as in 'I don't have the bandwidth to take on another project.' Common collocations include 'network bandwidth,' 'bandwidth capacity,' 'limited bandwidth,' and 'bandwidth allocation.'
