Question
in my office site 10 user.plz tell me which broadband line i will be better & what mbps?

Answer
Hi Sandesh,

My field of expertise is in the radio frequency (RF) and RF bandwidth is one element of that discipline, the bandwidth that you are referring to deals with the amount of data per given time, I'm afraid that I cannot give you the proper answer that you are looking for.

However, your question raises some questions in mind, since you want to know the aggregate datarate for the 10 users, I will be curious to know how intensive are the applications that will be run by each user? if it is merely browsing and word processing and exchanging documents and data files, then a 50 Mbps would be more that enough to meet your requirements, for the present and further into the near future, however if more intensive data application sharing is needed then it will definitely be higher.

You will have to consider the cost and the amount of data traffic that will actually be used by your network, the best compromise usually is the most economical for an enterprise.

best regards.
