Stands for Gigabits per second and is a measurement of data transfer speed, indicating how many billions of bits are transmitted every second. It’s commonly used to describe the speed of internet connections, network data transfer rates, and bandwidth capacity in computing and telecommunications. For example, a 1 Gbps connection can theoretically transfer up to 1 billion bits per second, which translates to roughly 125 megabytes per second (MBps) when downloading or transferring files.
