Bandwidth Calculator

The term internet bandwidth encompasses activities like file uploads, downloads, and media streaming between your radio station and its listeners. It is primarily measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (kbps), megabits per second (Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps).

To measure the bandwidth usage of your Online radio, you can try our Radio Bandwidth Calculator. You only need to enter the details such as bitrate, time, and no. of listeners. It will give you a rough estimation of how much bandwidth is required.

The amount of internet bandwidth you need for your radio depends on factors like the quality of audio streaming and the number of simultaneous listeners. Generally, higher-quality audio and more listeners require greater bandwidth. Consider at least 128 Kbps per listener as a starting point for a standard-quality stream.

• Bitrate: how many bits (Kbps) are transferred or processed over a certain amount of time.

• Time: Amount of time used to listen to an Online Radio

• Listeners: the number of simultaneous users

Measuring bandwidth helps you understand how much bandwidth is required to set up an Online Radio. Our bandwidth calculator allows you to easily figure out the right package based on the bandwidth usage. Using our bandwidth calculator, you will easily understand the package you need to choose.

Your bandwidth consumption depends on the number of listeners, time spent listening, and stream quality(bitrate).

• No. of Listeners: More listeners mean more data consumption.

• Time Spent Listening: Longer listening sessions result in higher bandwidth usage.

• Stream Quality: Higher bit rates use more data than lower ones.

For instance, broadcasting at 128kbps to a single listener for an hour would use 50MB of bandwidth. Increasing the bitrate to 129kbps would bump it up to 80MB
