circuit-switched networks

Circuit-switched networks establish a dedicated communication path between two parties for the duration of a call or data transfer. When you make a phone call, a specific, reserved route is created between your device and the other person's device, ensuring a continuous, dedicated connection. This method is reliable because the path remains exclusive to those communicating, preventing interference. Once the call ends, the connection is released and the route becomes available for others. Classic telephone networks are an example of circuit-switched systems, where dedicated channels ensure consistent and uninterrupted communication.
