About these units
Gigabit (Gb)
A gigabit is 1,000,000,000 bits, commonly used to describe modern network speeds, such as 1 Gbps Ethernet, fiber-optic connections, and high-speed wireless systems. Gigabit connections revolutionized both home and enterprise computing by enabling rapid file transfers, cloud computing, and high-definition streaming. As speeds continue to increase—10, 40, 100 Gbps and beyond—the gigabit becomes a foundational stepping stone in the evolution of networking capability. The Gb illustrates how rapidly communication technology has scaled compared to physical storage.
Exabit (Eb)
An exabit is 10¹⁸ bits, used in ultra-large-scale networking, such as intercontinental fiber systems, data-center connectivity, and internet backbone capacity projections. Although no single consumer device operates at this scale, network engineers and futurists use exabit terminology to describe the explosive growth of global internet traffic. The exabit embodies the shift toward planetary-scale communication infrastructures, reflecting humanity's increasing dependence on rapid, high-bandwidth connectivity.
