In what units is the throughput of information transmission channels measured?

The bandwidth of information transmission channels is the maximum amount of information that can be transmitted per unit of time.

Since the amount of information is measured in bits (and other multiple units: kilobits, megabytes, gigabits), and it is customary to take a second per unit of time, the information transfer rate is measured, respectively, in bits (kilobits, megabits, gigabits) per second.

WiFi channel provides bandwidth up to 54 Mbps, and fiber-optic communication channel up to 20 Gbps.
