👉 The term "kilobar" refers to a very high data transfer rate. It is typically used in connection with large-scale computer networks, such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi, where a single bit can be transmitted over 10 gigabits per second (Gb/s). This level of speed allows for much higher data transmission speeds than traditional analog communication rates like megabits per second (Mbps) and gigabits per second (Gbps), which are typically used in digital networks.
