Convert Bits per second to Exabits per second
Convert Bits per second (bit/s) to Exabits per second (Ebit/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
Ebit/s = bit/s × 1.000000000e-18
About Bits per second
Bit per second (bit/s) is the fundamental SI data-rate unit - one binary digit transmitted per second. Shannon's channel capacity C = B log₂(1 + S/N) expresses maximum achievable bit/s. Early RS-232 serial links ran at 110-9,600 bit/s; GSM voice uses 13 kbit/s; a coin-flip entropy source produces 1 bit/s per flip. 1 bit/s = 0.125 B/s = 10⁻³ kbit/s.
About Exabits per second
Exabit per second (Ebit/s) = 10¹⁸ bit/s (SI). Theoretical: Shannon limit for a single-mode fibre over 50 THz optical bandwidth ≈ 100 Pbit/s - still ~10,000× below 1 Ebit/s. Reaching 1 Ebit/s would require ≈1 million parallel fibres each at 1 Pbit/s. Global internet backbone installed capacity in 2024 ≈ 5-10 Pbit/s. 1 Ebit/s = 10¹⁸ bit/s = 125 PB/s.
