In the 1980s, the US Army began developing SimNet, with the original intention of using SimNet as a simulator that could be used to simulate real-life scenarios for soldiers. So originally it was a training tool. The advantage was that you did not have to continuously build up training scenarios, the simulation could be performed anywhere. This resulted in this network, which can now serve as the backbone for your ship.
SimNet, the backbone of your boat
A backbone is the cable that connects the most important instruments on a ship. This also includes your ship's network. The network is connected to all devices on the boat, it allows them to exchange data with each other and continue to work. That is why the backbone is characterized as the backbone of a boat, because without it you only have loose parts. The backbone ensures that these instruments become a whole, making them work more effectively.
