The bandwidth pack is a piece of apparel added by the Biotech DLC.
Acquisition
Bandwidth packs can be crafted at a Machining table once the Standard mechtech research project has been completed. They require 
50 Steel, 
8 Components, 
2 Signal chips, 3,200 ticks (53.33 secs) of work, and a Crafting skill of 4.
Summary
Bandwidth packs occupy the utility slot. When worn, they give a mechanitor wearing it +6 bandwidth, allowing you to control more allied mechanoids. They have no quality.
Analysis
Bandwidth packs are unique in that they are a practically permanent and stable means of gaining bandwidth. Band nodes stop working when the power goes out, and apparel items will degrade over time and damage. The ability to arm 6 more militors, utility mechs, or a lesser amount of stronger combat mechanoids, is certainly powerful. The loss of the utility slot can be made up if you have the mechanoids to spare.
