  2. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

    As of 2021, Japanese scientists transmitted 319 terabits per second over 3,000 kilometers with four-core fiber cables with standard cable diameter. [ 27 ] The focus of development for the fifth generation of fiber-optic communications is on extending the wavelength range over which a WDM system can operate.

    OC-48 is a network line with transmission speeds of up to 2488.32 Mbit/s (payload: 2405.376 Mbit/s (2.405376 Gbit/s); overhead: 82.944 Mbit/s). With relatively low interface prices, with being faster than OC-3 and OC-12 connections, and even surpassing gigabit Ethernet , OC-48 connections are used [ when? ] as the backbones of many regional ISPs.

    The design capacity is 250 terabits per second (Tbit/s). [ 6 ] In October 2018, Orange announced it would collaborate with Google on the Dunant cable, acting as the French landing partner - building and operating the landing station on the French Atlantic coast and providing the backhaul service to Paris.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_traffic

    Internet traffic is the flow of data within the entire Internet, or in certain network links of its constituent networks.Common traffic measurements are total volume, in units of multiples of the byte, or as transmission rates in bytes per certain time units.

  7. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

  8. Bit rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate

    In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. [1]The bit rate is expressed in the unit bit per second (symbol: bit/s), often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s) or tera (1 Tbit/s = 1,000 Gbit/s). [2]

  9. Submarine communications cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable

    The total carrying capacity of a submarine cable is in the terabits per second, while a satellite typically offers only 1 gigabit per second, a ratio of more than 1000 to 1. Satellites handle less than 5% [ 72 ] - to an estimate of even 0.5% - of global data transmission, [ 78 ] and are less efficient, slower, and more expensive. [ 84 ]
