bits per hour to Mebibits per day conversion

How to convert bits per hour to mebibits per day?

To convert from bits per hour to Mebibits per day, you need to understand the units and their relationships. Let's break it down:

1. Bits per hour (b/h): This is the rate at which data is transferred in bits over an hour.
2. Mebibits (Mi): This is a binary unit of data equal to $2^{20}$ bits (1,048,576 bits).
3. Per day: A day has 24 hours.

Conversion Process

Base 2 (Binary) Conversion

1. Convert bits per hour to bits per day: $1 \text{ bits per hour} \times 24 \text{ hours per day} = 24 \text{ bits per day}$

2. Convert bits to Mebibits (Mi): $1 \text{ Mebibit} = 2^{20} \text{ bits} = 1,048,576 \text{ bits}$ $\text{Mebibits per day} = \frac{\text{bits per day}}{2^{20}}$ $\text{Mebibits per day} = \frac{24}{1,048,576} \approx 0.00002289 \text{ Mi/day}$

Base 10 (Decimal) Conversion

1. Convert bits per hour to bits per day: $1 \text{ bits per hour} \times 24 \text{ hours per day} = 24 \text{ bits per day}$

2. Convert bits to Megabits (Mb): $1 \text{ Megabit} = 10^6 \text{ bits} = 1,000,000 \text{ bits}$ $\text{Megabits per day} = \frac{\text{bits per day}}{10^6}$ $\text{Megabits per day} = \frac{24}{1,000,000} = 0.000024 \text{ Mb/day}$

Summary

• Base 2 (Binary): 1 bits per hour = 0.00002289 Mi/day.
• Base 10 (Decimal): 1 bits per hour = 0.000024 Mb/day.

Real-World Examples

• Low-speed sensors: Certain environmental sensors used for monitoring temperature or humidity may transmit data at such low bit rates, given that the data collected is minimal and infrequent.
• Telecommunications: Ancient or primitive communication systems might have operated at very low bit rates, potentially limited to a few bits per hour.
• Data Logging: Specialized scientific experiments that record data only under specific conditions might use very low data rates when recording conditions are rarely met.

These examples demonstrate real-world scenarios where such low data rates might be applicable in practice.
