The aim is to share an expensive resource. For example, in telecommunications, several telephone calls may be carried using one wire. \r\n> ...\r\n> A device that performs the multiplexing is called a multiplexer (MUX), and a device that performs the reverse process is called a demultiplexer (DEMUX or DMX)."}}
