In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) is a term describing various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second (1,000,000,000 bits per second), as defined by the IEEE 802.3 2008 standard.

A prominent example is found in the pronunciation of gigawatts in the 1985 movie Back to the Future .

The gigabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information or computer storage.

Vic Hayes, who held the chair of IEEE 802.11 for 10 years, and has been called the father of Wi Fi , was involved in designing the initial 802.11b and 802.11a standards within the IEEE.

Fast Ethernet was introduced in 1995 and remained the fastest version of Ethernet for three years before it was superseded by the Gigabit Ethernet.
