MBPSAn MBPS is a unit which specifies information transfer rates. MBPS stands for megabits per second.
A megabit per second is a information transfer rate of one million bits per second. It describes the information-carrying capacity of a communication channel or pathway between computer hardware devices or software. For example, it can be used to characterize how quickly a particular parallel interface, a modem or a network card transmits data to another piece of hardware like another computer. An ethernet card transfers data at a rate of 10 MBPS. For modems, another unit of information transfer rate is baud, which refers to symbols per second and can mean anything from one to sixteen bits per second. Bits, bytes or characters per second as units of transfer speed are more precise, because they do not depend on additional information for a complete specification. The unit megabit on its own commonly refers to the storage capacity of a memory chip.
