A mebibit per second (Mibps or Mibit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,024 kibibits per second or 1,048,576 bits per second. In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (sometimes written bitrate) is the frequency at which bits are passing a given (physical or metaphorical) point. It is quantified using the bit per second (bit/s) unit. ... An SI prefix is a prefix which can be applied to any unit of the International System of Units (SI) to give subdivisions and multiples of that unit. ... A kilobit per second (kbps or kbit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,000 bits per second. ... (Redirected from 1 E3) For the techno single by Moby, see Thousand (single). ... A megabit per second (mbps or mbit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,000 kilobits per second or 1,000,000 bits per second. ... (Redirected from 1 E6) One million (1000000), one thousand thousand, is the natural number following 999999 and preceding 1000001. ... A gigabit per second (Gbps or Gbit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,000 megabits per second or 1,000,000 kilobits per second or 1,000,000,000 bits per second. ... To help compare orders of magnitude this page lists dimensionless numbers between 109 and 1012. ... In computing, binary prefixes are often used to quantify large numbers where powers of two are more useful than powers of ten. ... A kibibit per second (kibps or kibit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,024 bits per second. ... A gibibit per second (Gibps or Gibit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,024 mebibits per second or 1,048,576 kibibits per second or 1,073,741,824 bits per second. ... The word unit means any of several things: The natural or usual or smallest measure of something, of which there are multiples and of which there may be fractions. ... A kibibit per second (kibps or kibit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,024 bits per second. ... In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (sometimes written bitrate) is the frequency at which bits are passing a given (physical or metaphorical) point. It is quantified using the bit per second (bit/s) unit. ...


Mebibyte per second

Another unit of data transmission is the mebibyte per second (MiBps or Mibyte/s) and is eight times a mebibit per second:

1 mebibyte/s = 8 mebibit/s

Confusion

One mebibit per second should not be confused with one megabit per second: A megabit per second (mbps or mbit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,000 kilobits per second or 1,000,000 bits per second. ...

106 bit/s = 1 000 000 bit/s = 1 Mbit/s (one megabit or one million bits per second)
220 bit/s = 1 048 576 bit/s = 1 Mibit/s (one mebibit per second)

Megabit per second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (211 words)
A megabit per second (Mbps or Mbit/s) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000,000 bits per second or 1,000 kilobits per second.
One megabit per second should not be confused with one mebibit per second:
However, the mebibit per second is almost never used, and there is no ambiguity in telecommunications speed as a result (see Binary prefix for the corresponding ambiguous definition when measuring computer storage).
Gigabit per second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (197 words)
A gigabit per second (Gbps or Gbit/s) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000 megabits per second or 1,000,000 kilobits per second or 1,000,000,000 bits per second.
Another unit of data transmission is the gigabyte per second (GB/s, GBps, or Gbyte/s).
Because of this discrepancy, the use of "bit-rates" is strongly recommended for all discussions of data transfer speeds, as bits per second (bps) is standardized on base-10 numbers.
