How to Convert Gigabits Per Second to Bits Per Second
To convert gigabits per second to bits per second, multiply by 1,000,000,000. Both units measure network bandwidth in bits per second—the difference is simply the scale. Try the Bits Per Second to Gigabits Per Second calculator.
Gbps: A gigabit per second is 1,000 megabits per second. Used for fiber internet and enterprise networking. Common uses include Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE. Learn more: Gigabits Per Second to Terabits Per Second converter.
bps: The fundamental unit of data transfer rate, representing one bit transmitted per second. Typically used for Serial communications, legacy modems, low-speed sensors. See also: Kibibytes Per Second to Bits Per Second.
1 Gbps = 1,000,000,000 bps — which means there are 1,000,000,000bits per second in every gigabit per second.
Gbps to bps Conversion Formula
// Convert Gbps to bps
bps = Gbps × 1,000,000,000
// Reverse: Convert bps to Gbps
Gbps = bps × 0.000000001
Gbps to bps Conversion Examples
10 Gbps = 10,000,000,000 bps
50 Gbps = 50,000,000,000 bps
100 Gbps = 100,000,000,000 bps
500 Gbps = 500,000,000,000 bps
1,000 Gbps = 1,000,000,000,000 bps

When to Convert Gbps to bps
Common scenario: Scaling between bandwidth measurements for network planning and speed comparisons. Use our converting Gigabits Per Second to Zettabytes Per Second.
Other situations include ISP speed verification for checking if you're getting advertised speeds, network planning for sizing links and capacity, backup window calculations for estimating transfer times, and replication sizing for disaster recovery planning.
