Wireline Networks

This is a network, which is designed over wire or tangible conductors. This network is called fixed or wireline network. Fixed telephone networks over copper and fiber-optic will be part of this network family. Broadband networks over DSL or cable will also be part of wireline networks. Wireline network are generally public networks and cover wide areas. Though microwave or satellite networks do not use wire, when a telephone network uses microwave or satellite as a part of its infrastructure, it is considered part of wireline networks. When we connect to ISPs it is generally a wireline network. The Internet backbone is a wireline network as well.
