Baudienste

Baudienste, also known as baud services, are a type of communication service that provides data transmission over telephone lines. The term "baud" refers to the number of signal changes or transitions per second in a communication channel. Baud services are typically used for low-speed data transmission, such as modem connections, and are often provided by telecommunications companies.

Baud services are characterized by their simplicity and reliability. They use a single channel for both sending and receiving data, which makes them suitable for applications where data transfer rates are not critical. Baud services are commonly used for remote access to computers, file transfers, and other low-speed data communication tasks.

The speed of baud services is measured in bits per second (bps), which is the rate at which data is transmitted. The maximum speed of baud services is typically limited by the bandwidth of the telephone line and the capabilities of the modem. Common baud rates for baud services include 300, 1200, and 2400 bps.

Baud services have largely been replaced by faster and more efficient data transmission technologies, such as DSL and cable internet. However, they remain in use in some remote or underserved areas where more advanced technologies are not available.
