A gigabit is a unit of information or computer storage, abbreviated Gbit (or Gb - note the lower case 'b' as compared to the capital 'B' in gigabyte).

1 gigabit = 109 = 1,000,000,000 bits (which is equal to 125 decimal megabytes or 119.2 mebibytes, as 8 bits equals one byte)

The gigabit is closely related to the gibibit, which is equal to 230 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits.
