I basically need a term that could be used to describe <u>networks that are <strong>in access of 1 Gbps<\/strong><\/u>. Today there&#8217;s a general iffy word <strong>Broadband<\/strong>, which has been used commonly to describe networks with higher than 512Kbps download and 256kbps upload. Then there is <strong>Narrowband<\/strong>, which was &#8220;not Broadband&#8221;, usually meaning can only carry sound at around 64Kbps. Since then speeds has increased and all the terms I heard of was High-speed Broadband, Ultra High-speed Broadband. <\/p>\n<p>Ultraband was suggested by someone else, but it seems to be already tainted somewhat by the other related technology Ultra Wide Band (UWB). So I thought wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if we can go by the following definition:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Narrowband: Anything less than 1Mbps<\/p>\n<p>Broadband: 1Mbps to 1023 Mbps<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gigaband<\/strong>: 1Gbps to 1023 Gbps<\/p>\n<p>Teraband: 1Tbps to 1023 Tbps<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Or, maybe to purposely fit current definitions, we could scale down a little, like<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Narrowband: Anything less than 256Kbps<\/p>\n<p>Broadband: 256Kbps to 127Mbps<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gigaband<\/strong>: 128Mbps to 63Gbps<\/p>\n<p>Teraband: 64Gbps to 31Tbps<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>since 32Tbps is pretty scary. That way, the Gigaband market would describe a whole new set of enterprise\/consumer technologies for many years to come, where Teraband would continue to be in the realm of international submarine cable. Giga also gets us out of the competition of superlatives, so that way way in the future we don&#8217;t need Hyper-Super-Ultra-Wide-Powerful-Omnipotent-Band&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a better name?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell me what you think.
