Backbone Networks

Backbone networks are the high-capacity infrastructure that form the main pathways for data transmission across large networks, such as the internet. They consist of powerful fiber-optic cables, routers, and switches that connect multiple regional or local networks, enabling rapid and reliable transfer of vast amounts of information over long distances. Think of them as the major highways that carry huge volumes of data efficiently between different cities or regions, ensuring that information reaches its destination quickly and securely. This backbone is essential for supporting high-speed communication, cloud services, and global connectivity.
