About Bit (b)

The bit, its symbol b (lowercase b), is a unit of measurement used in the binary system to store or transmit data, such as Internet connection speed or the quality scale of an audio or video recording.

A bit is generally represented with two values, 0 or 1, although it can also be interpreted with other values like yes/no, true/false, plus/minus, etc. It is said that 8 bits make 1 byte.

A bit is one of the fundamental units used in computer technology, information technology, digital communication, as well as for storing, processing, and transmitting various types of data.

Note: Do not confuse Bit with Byte, (8 Bits = 1 Byte).

About Petabit (pb)

The petabit, its symbol pb, is a unit of measurement that is equivalent to 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits or 1,000 terabits. It is used to describe storage capacities or data transfer speeds in ultra-high-speed systems, such as global communication networks and supercomputers.

The petabit is relevant in contexts that handle massive amounts of data and require high processing and storage capacity, such as scientific research and high-level Internet infrastructure.
