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 kibibit per second is a unit of data transfer rate, using the standard binary prefix kibi, which has the symbol Ki, meaning 210. The unit symbol of the kibibit per second is Kibit / s. 1 kibibit / s = 210 bits / s = 1,024 bits / s.
