1. Related nouns :

High traffic

High Flow

Fibre-optic

Antenna

Spherical

Sphere of

  

  Bandwidth Bandwidth

Transmission capacity, measured by bitrate transmission capacity, measured in bitrate

  bitrate ratio/bit rate/bitrate

The number of bits per second a system can transmit one bit per second

  Latency Delay

Time it takes a bit-to-travel from the sender to receiver when a bit is taken from the sender to the receiving party

2. Conversion

Bytes = 1 kilobyte (1 Kb)

kilobytes = 1 megabyte (1 Mb)

In binary memory,

1024x768 Bytes = 1 kilobyte

1024x768 kilobytes = 1 megabyte

  The Atom of information

BITS-a information atom

3. Connections and differences between wires, cables and WiFi

They are different ways of transmitting signals.

 

Things to transmit

Wire Wires
Electric Electric
Cable Cable
Light
Wifi
Radio Radio

  Speed of transmission of signals wire < Cable < WiFi.

Other than that

PRO CON
Electric Cheap Cheap Signal Loss Signal Loss
Light Fast transfer speed Expensive expensive

No Signal Loss

No signal loss.

Hard-to-work with

Inconvenience, for example, to use a network cable

Radio Wireless Wireless Signal Loss Signal Loss

Ps:

Give an example to understand the concept of bandwidth and bitrate:

Suppose a person whose network connection bandwidth is 10MBITS/S, the bitrate will not exceed 10mbits/s unless the bandwidth increases. When trying to download a file, the download speed may generally be <1.5mbits/s.

Above these two 10mbits/s, 1.5mbits/s all refers to the code rate, the first 10mbits/s to describe the size of the bandwidth.
