Hübriidvõrke
Hübriidvõrke, or hybrid networks, refer to a telecommunications network that combines different network technologies or transport mechanisms to achieve a specific goal. This could involve integrating wired and wireless technologies, or leveraging multiple communication protocols within a single infrastructure. The primary motivation behind creating hybrid networks is often to optimize performance, expand coverage, or reduce costs by utilizing the strengths of each integrated technology. For instance, a common hybrid network might use fiber optic cables for high-speed backbone connections and Wi-Fi for last-mile wireless access, offering both high capacity and user mobility. Another example could be a network that employs both public switched telephone network (PSTN) and Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies to ensure reliable voice communication. These networks are crucial for providing flexible and resilient communication services in various environments, from homes and offices to large-scale public infrastructures. The management and interoperability of these diverse components are key challenges in the design and operation of hybrid networks.
