Megawatts
A megawatt (MW) is equal to one million watts. This unit is often used to measure the output of power plants or the power consumption of large-scale facilities. It is a standard unit in the field of energy generation and consumption.
Decibel-milliwatts
A decibel milliwatt (dBm) is a unit of power level used in radio, microwave, and fiber-optic communication networks. It is a logarithmic unit that expresses power relative to one milliwatt.
