Pagers typically use 8-bit words primarily due to historical and technical limitations. The 8-bit format allows for efficient encoding of alphanumeric characters while minimizing the size of the data packets transmitted over the limited bandwidth available in early paging systems. Additionally, 8 bits can represent 256 different values, which is sufficient for basic messaging needs without requiring more complex and resource-intensive encoding schemes. This simplicity contributes to the reliability and low power consumption of pager devices.

What do you mean by 8 bit?
An 8 bit microprocessor is a 'microprocessor' which only has an 8 bit wide databus.
What are the advantages of 8 bit computer architecture?
16 bit has 16 bits of memory and 8 bit have 8 bit of memory these are words of broadside transfers . Assume the main clock as fix timing just by transmitting 16 bits Vs 8 bits we have double the information available to the CPU.
Why the computer start with 8 bit?
It didn't, early computers had a very wide range of word and character sizes many machines were decimal so their word/character sizes were defined in decimal digits not binary bits. Even microprocessors the first commercial microprocessor the Intel 4004 was a 4 bit not 8 bit machine. The 8 bit byte as a standard only originated in 1964 with the IBM System/360.Some examples of different computers of the past:ABC: 50 bit binary words; no characters.ENIAC: 10 digit decimal words; no characters.IAS: 40 bit binary words; no characters.UNIVAC 1: 12 character/digit decimal words; 1 digit characters.IBM 701: 36/18 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 702: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.UNIVAC 1101: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 650: 10 digit decimal words; 2 digit characters.IBM 704: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.UNIVAC 1103: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 705: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.IBM 709: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 7090: 36 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 1620: variable length decimal words; 2 digit characters.IBM 1401: variable length character/digit words; 1 digit (6 bit) characters.DEC PDP-1: 18 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.IBM 7030: 64 bit binary words, variable length character/byte strings; variable length (4 to 8 bits) characters/bytes.CDC 6600: 60 bit binary words; 6 bit characters.DEC PDP-8: 12 bit binary words; 6 or 8 bit characters.IBM System/360: 32 bit binary words, variable (up to 32 digits) length decimal words; 8 bit characters/bytes.DEC PDP-10: 36 bit binary words; variable length (1 to 36 bits) characters.UNIVAC 1110: 36 bit binary words; 6 or 9 bit characters/bytes.etc.
What are the current uses for 8-bit processor?
As technology has moved on from 8 - bit the only use for it now is hobby
How do you get the 8 bit shades on roblox?
The 8 Bit Shades is not on sale and the only way to get this was to have the Builderman's Gift of Followers in 2011.
Why 8051 is called 8 bit micro controller?
A: Because it can only control 8 bits of data.
How many bits in a bit?
There is only 1 bit in a bit. If you are meaning how many bits are in a byte, there are 8 bits in one byte.
How do you justify that 8051 is an 8-bit microcontroller?
The 8085 is called an 8 bit microprocessor because the accumulator is 8 bits in size. This means that the primary data size is 8 bits. This is true even though the address bus, certain registers, and certain register operations are 16 bits in size.
The term bit is the combination of what two words?
The term "bit" is short for one data packet. A "byte" is 8 data "bits".
How many address line to choose the words in the 128 x 8 bit chips?
7
Is 0110101 an 8 bit binary number?
Ordinarily, we wouldn't know, because you never said that the "0110101" is written in binary.But in this case, we know that the answer is definitely "no", because even if "0110101" is abinary number, it only has 7 bits.
What bitmap file format has the lowest resolution only 8 bit per pixel?
