View source for Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)

SONET stands for Synchronous Optical [[Network]]. SONET is a communication protocol, developed by Bellcore – that is used to transmit a lage amount of [[data]] over relatively large distances using optical fibre. With SONET, multiple digital data streams are transfered at the same time over the optical fibre. Key Points:
*Developed by Bellcore
*Used in North America
*Standardized by [[American National Standards Institute (ANSI)]]
*Similar to [[Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)]] which is used in Europe and Japan.<ref> What is Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)? [https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-network-synchronous-optical-network-sonet/ Geeks for Geeks]</ref>
