bps Full Form Name
Full Form of bps:
Bits Per Second
bps Full Form is Bits
Per Second. “bps” is a standard mathematical unit that is used
to measure the data transfer rate for the computer modems and other
transmission carriers. This unit is mainly used in the sector of data
communication or telecommunication. It allows the system to measure how many
bits, in one second, are transferred through a certain point of communicating
network.
bps is the lowest measurement
rate for an transmission or transfer. It can be very cumbersome and exhaustive
to measure the data rate in bps system if millions of bits are being
transferred in a single second. That is why IEC (International
Electro-technical Commission) has introduced and confirmed some higher and
bigger measurement units for data rates.
Just like bps, these bigger
measurement rates also use ISQ symbols and SI prefixes like kilo, mega, giga
etc. The immediate superior to bps is Bps (Bytes per second). 1 bps is equal to
amount to 0.125 Bps. This measurement unit is used in almost every
technological sector, but more predominantly in measuring transfer rates of
data carriers like modems. If we say that a modem is rated at 20bps, it means
that 20bits of data are transferred through that modem in a single second. The
higher the bps will be, the faster and convenient download or upload a user can
have.
