general serial (ttl) programming question (not language specific)

I'm writing an app with two arduinos and an RF transceiver connecting them. The arduinos are doing calculations etc in a loop with a 50ms second delay.

The transceiver operates at a baud rate of 1200.

My question is, because of the fast loop there could be a lot of data transmitted quickly, most are just short values such as "P25500" during the 50ms loop. During a full second the number of se开发者_运维问答nt characters might be around 200.

I'm new to wireless ttl and transceivers and I'm not sure what limitations are with 1200 baud and how much data I could send per second before losses occur.

Can someone let me know if I'd be safe with this?

Depending the encoding, 1200 baud is 1200 bits/second.

200 characters is (with delays and stop bits) about 2000 bits.

This is pretty well-defined stuff. "I'm not sure what limitations are with 1200 baud" should be covered very nicely in numerous on-line resources.
