{{no footnotes|date=January 2013}}
In [[telecommunications]], an '''information-bearer channel''' is one of: 

#A [[communication channel]] capable of transmitting all the [[information]] required for communication, such as [[User (telecommunications)|user]] [[data]], [[synchronizing]] sequences, and control signals. The information-bearer channel may operate at a higher data rate than that required for user data alone. 
#A basic [[communications channel]] with the necessary bandwidth but without enhanced or value-added services.
