    A bit is the smallest piece of information a computer stores. It has 2 possible values; 0 and 1. A byte is a considered a computer "word" and comprises 8 bits. The K stands for kilo which means 1000 times, the M stands for mega, which means 1,000,000 times (or 1000x1000).

    Ergo a Kilobyte or KB is 1000 bytes. And a megabye is 1,000,000 bytes. The ps stands for per second and denotes the speed that bytes are sent over a connection.

    Try finding a benchmark testing tool that test the speed of a bluetooth connection. Bluetooth.com might have them or try DLink or Kensington who make them.

    What is confusing you, what don't you understand? Why do you need to test this?

    You need to explain this further. But if you have to test these products then you need, as I explained already, a benchmark test utility. Such a utility will send a signal to the external bluetooth device and detect how quickly the signal was received and responded to. Depending on what the external device is, it may send a file of a known size and test how long it takes.

    If you can't find such a utilty then your company may need to develop one.
