Defination

 SONET is a technology that converts electrical signals into optical signals,

allowing them to travel across larger distances.

 SONET is a digital communication protocol that uses a fiber optic medium to

transfer huge amounts of data across great distances.

 The SONET line transmission rates are 50, 155, 622 Mbps and 2.5, 10 Gbps.
Explanation

 SONET stands for synchronous optical network. It offers cost effective transport of data.

 Multiple digital data streams are transmitted via optical fiber at the same time utilizing
LEDs and laser beams in SONET.

 SONET and SDH are established protocols that use lasers or LED’s to transport multiple
digital bit streams simultaneously across optical fiber.

 Data can also be transmitted over an electrical link at modest transmission rates.
 Elements of SONET

• STS Multiplexer − It performs signal multiplexing and transforms an electrical signal into an optical
signal.

• STS Demultiplexer − It performs signal demultiplexing. This device converts an optical signal into an
electrical signal.

• Regenerator − A regenerator is a repeater that takes an optical signal and strengthens it.

• Add/Drop Multiplexer − This device allows you to combine signals from several sources into a single
route or delete a signal.
Architecture

 SONET is not just a simple replacement for SDA but a network in its own
configuration, embedded switches and management.
 The network architecture of SONET is diagrammatically given below

Advantages

• Data is sent over long distances.

• Electromagnetic interference is minimal.
• Data rates are quite high.
• Provides broad bandwidth
• Reduced operating cost.
Features

• Network management
• Protection
• Bandwidth management
• Network simplification

 Main goal of SONNET is to Tolerate the Fault in lines by providing multiple

transmission lines.
