What is Gbps?
| Billions of Bits per Second |
|
Gbps (Gigabits per second, not to be confused with GBps) stands for billions of bytes per second or gigabytes per second and is a measure of bandwidth (the total information flow over a given time) on a communications medium. A gigabit is a billion bits (binary pulses), or 1,000,000,000 (10^9) bits. Bits in data communications are discrete signal pulses and have historically been counted using the decimal number system. |
