The gibibit per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix gibi (symbol Gi) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 230, and therefore 1 gibibit per second = 230 bit per second = 1073741824 bit per second. The gibibit per second has the unit symbol Gibit/s.
The kilobit per second is a the unit bit for data transfer rate. The prefix kilo- (symbol k) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 103 (1 thousand), and therefore, 1 kilobit / s = 103bits / s = 1000 bits / s.
