Gbps to Kbps Converter

Convert gigabits per second to kilobits per second and vice versa. Bidirectional data transfer rate converter with formula and common values.

Gbps

Kilobits per second

1,500,000

kbps

1.5 Gbps = 1,500,000 kbps

kbps = Gbps × 1000000

How to Convert Gbps to Kbps

To convert gigabits per second to kilobits per second, multiply by 1,000,000. This uses the standard SI decimal prefix system for data rates.

Conversion Formula

  • Gbps to Kbps: kbps = Gbps × 1000000
  • Kbps to Gbps: Gbps = kbps ÷ 1000000

FAQ

How many kbps is 1 Gbps?

1 Gbps equals 1,000,000 kbps.

Why express Gbps in kbps?

Some older protocols, embedded systems, and audio/video codecs specify requirements in kbps. Converting helps verify whether a Gbps link can handle a given number of such streams.

Is the conversion based on 1000 or 1024?

Data transfer rates use the SI decimal system: 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps = 1,000,000 kbps. The binary (1024) convention applies to data storage (GiB, MiB), not transfer rates.

How many 320 kbps audio streams can a 1 Gbps link support?

A 1 Gbps link (1,000,000 kbps) can theoretically support about 3125 simultaneous 320 kbps audio streams, not accounting for protocol overhead.
