Conversion Formula

Ebit/s = Zbit/s × 1000

About Zettabits per second

Zettabit per second (Zbit/s) = 10²¹ bit/s (SI). Entirely theoretical. The entire global internet traffic in all of 2024 (≈40 Zbit) could be transferred in ≈40 seconds at 1 Zbit/s. The full electromagnetic spectrum (radio to gamma, ≈10³⁰ Hz bandwidth) at Shannon capacity still cannot sustain 1 Zbit/s with any known physical medium. 1 Zbit/s = 10²¹ bit/s = 125 EB/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.
