The speed at which your modem can transmit and receive information. Nowadays it's more usual to use the term bps (bits per second) or Bps (bytes per second).

The rate of transmission for telecommunications data, expressed in bits per second (bps).

The transmission speed of a communications channel. The BAUD rate is used to represent bits per second.

Another name for baud. Although the word "rate" in this context is redundant (since baud is the number of signal events per second), the combination "baud rate" is used frequently [..]

The number of voltage or frequency transitions per second.

A nearly obsolete term for transmission rates synonymous in early, simple systems with bits per second. In faster, more complex systems of encoding and transmitting data, the term loses its simple mea [..]

The measure of the speed of transmission of a digital code, as defined by the number of distinct symbol changes per second to a digital signal stream. Each Baud (Bd) may contain one or more bits of information. (see also Bitrate/Bit rate

Internet Glossary The number of transitions per second made by a modem.

The speed rate of a data channel - expressed as bits per second (bps) - which is usually used when referring to the speed of modems.

The speed at which a modem sends and receives data, e.g., 2400 bps, 9600 bps. One baud is roughly equivalent to one bit per second.

The unit of measure for how fast a modem operates.

Number of bits of information transmitted per second from one digital device to another.

This is the speed of transmission of data. The baud rate is measured in bits per second.

The speed of communication when using the RS-232 interface. The greater the number the faster the data is sent between 2 devices. Usually balances use 300 to 9600 baud.

The actual symbol frequency being used to transmit data. The term baud rate is often used incorrectly as an equivalent to bits per second (bit/s, bps or b/s). For example, both ITU-T V.22bis (2400 b/s [..]

In a communications channel, such as a modem, a baud is a variation in the signal. The baud rate is the maximum number of these variations that can occur in a second. The fastest baud rate currently a [..]

The baud rate is defined as the number of discrete signal events per second occurring on a communications channel. Due to advanced coding methods, each signal can carry more than one bit. If e.g. 4 di [..]

The speed at which a modem can deal with information, measured in bits per second, 56Kbps is currently fastest.

The speed at which a modem sends and receives data, e.g., 2400 bps, 9600 bps. One baud is roughly equivalent to one bit per second.

The baud rate is the signal volume transferred per second. Usually, this is expressed as bits per second (bps).

The ring rate or line power of the telephone line providing service into a given structure (e.g., home). Most home telehealth devices require a minimum baud rate of 14,000 to make successful video capture. However, the lower the baud rate, the more likely it is that disconnections will occur.

Unit of measure for the speed of data transmission.

The number of bits per second often referred to in serial communication interfaces.

The measure of the speed of transmission of a digital code, as defined by the number of distinct symbol changes per second to a digital signal stream. Each Baud (Bd) may contain one or more bits of information. (see also Bitrate/Bit rate

The signaling or symbol rate of a digital transmission path or device. A symbol can represent more than one bit of information, depending on the encoding or modulation scheme used to create the symbol [..]

The data rate in bits per second (bps) on a serial communications port. For 8 bit data with one start bit and one stop bit, the bytes per second is the baud rate divided by 10. At 9600 baud, and 10 bits per character, the character rate is 960 bytes per second (Bps).

Baud rate is synonymous with signaling rate. The strict definition of baud rate refers to the number of times per second the signal on the communication link changes.
