What is the significance of channel capacity? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
80 chars

Generation

Channel capacity represents the maximum rate at which information can be reliably transmitted over a communication channel with arbitrarily small error probability. Established by Claude Shannon's theorem, it defines the fundamental limit of data transmission for a given channel, regardless of encoding or modulation schemes used. This concept is crucial for designing efficient communication systems and understanding the theoretical boundaries of data transfer.
