Gigabits Per Second (Gbps)

Unit Breakdown

  • Bit = the smallest unit of data (a 0 or 1)
  • Giga = one billion (10^9)
  • Gigabit Per Second (Gbps) = 1,000,000,000 bits per second

What is Gigabits Per Second (Gbps)?

Gigabits per second (Gbps) is a unit of measurement used to describe data transfer speed -especially for very fast networks. It describes how many billions of bits can be moved through a connection in one single second.

Common Use: Found in fiber-optic internet (FTTH), high-end router ports (Gigabit Ethernet), and data centers. It is essential for 4K/8K streaming, seamless cloud backups, and low-latency gaming.
