About these units
Kilobit (kb)
A kilobit represents 1,000 bits (decimal), commonly used in telecommunications and networking. Unlike computer storage, networking units generally favor decimal prefixes, making kilobits distinct from kibibits (1024-bit units). Kilobits are often used to express low-bandwidth data rates—such as early dial-up Internet speeds (e.g., 56 kbps), small sensor networks, or radio telemetry. Though kilobits appear small today, many communication systems still operate efficiently at kilobit speeds, especially low-power IoT devices designed for long battery life and minimal bandwidth usage.
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.
