Kilobits per second A measure of digital information transmission rates (1 kilobit = 1,000 bits)
Short for kilobytes per second This unit is typically used to measure bandwidth, or the amount of data that can be transferred in a given amount of time Back to top
Kilobits per second; a measure of data transfer speed; one Kbps is 1,000 bits per second Example: a 28 8 Kbps modem Standard telephone lines are capable of transmitting data at a maximum speed of about 33 6 Kbps, although with newer technologies this limit is increasing
Kilobits per second; how many thousands of bits of data can be transferred in one second
One thousand bits per second Kbps is used as a rating of data transmission speed
