  Bandwidth
  The data transfer capacity of a network. It is measured in bits per second.
• If your Internet connection is slower than a three-toed sloth, it's probably because of a lack of bandwidth.
• Broadband
• A high-speed, high-capacity transmission medium that can carry signals from multiple independent network carriers. This is done on a single coaxial or fiber-optic cable by establishing different bandwidth channels. Broadband technology can support a wide range of frequencies. It is used to transmit data, voice and video over long distances.
• Broadband internet access is much faster than dial-up access. It is similar to the difference between a brand new sports car and a horse-drawn carriagesimultaneously.
• Very Small Aperture Terminal - VSAT
• A type of two-way satellite that transmits both narrow and broadband data to satellites in orbit. The data is then redirected to other remote terminals or hubs around the planet. VSATs are mainly used for wireless transmission of real-time data.
• The National Stock Exchange (NSE) in India is one of the largest VSAT based exchanges in the world. Supporting more than 3,000 terminals, the NSE network is the largest private wide-area network in the country. The NSE uses real-time online application, which is supported by 15 computer systems, including nonstop, fault-tolerant computers and high-end UNIX servers.
• Last Mile
• A phrase used in the telecommunications and technology industries to describe the technologies and processes used to connect the end customer to a communications network. The last mile is often stated in terms of the "last mile problem", because the end link between consumers and connectivity has proved to be disproportionately expensive to solve.
• Even compared to the costs associated with rolling out broadband wire and hardware across the expanses of the globe, the last mile connections have been plagued with technological issues and high costs. As a result of this, there are many publicly traded companies engaged primarily in "last mile" solutions and services.
• Average Revenue Per Unit - ARPU
• A measure of the revenue generated per user or unit. This measure allows for the analysis of a companies revenue generation and growth at the per unit level, which can identify which products are high or low revenue-generators.
• This measure is most often used in the telecommunications sector to survey the amount of revenue generated per cell-phone user for example. The values of the measures obtained can be used as a comparison between companies, as well as internally to improve lagging product lines.
