Eternals' suite of abilities includes complete molecular disassembly and reassembly — as in, effective teleportation. To do this over a distance is of enormous strain.
The Machine supplements this ability with the network, forming a system of subdimensional threads interlacing the planet.
Any cleared Eternal can disassemble, enter the system and move between the nodes then reassemble in the required destination.
The Machine will argue the system works incredibly well, considering its complexities. Most Eternals would agree though likely underline the word "considering".
It is the teleportation equivalent of a mass transit system in a major Earth city.
Unreliable, complicated, yet essential.
