Multiplexing

Multiplexing is a technology that allows multiple signals or streams of information to be combined and transmitted over a single channel or medium. Imagine a busy highway where multiple cars (data streams) travel together in a single lane without getting jammed. This efficient process maximizes the use of available resources, such as bandwidth in telecommunications or fibers in fiber optics, allowing for faster communication and reduced costs. Multiplexing is widely used in various applications, including internet data transmission, television signals, and telecommunications, ensuring that different data can coexist and be effectively delivered to their destinations.
