expanded
Bit rate refers to the quantity of data transmitted in bits per second (bps) over a network or communication channel. It is a critical parameter in digital communications, influencing the speed and quality of data transfer. In practical applications, bit rate affects how quickly a system can transmit video, audio, or data streams, directly impacting user experience in streaming services, telecommunications, and network performance.
