Glossary
Technology evolves at a rapid-fire pace. That’s why we’ve built an easy-to-use glossary to help you better understand the terms, technologies and trends that impact your business.Baud Rate
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) and V.22 (1200 b/s) modems transmit data at 600 bauds, but V.22bis modems use four bits per symbol and V.22 modems use two.
