North American Packet over SONET (NAPS)

North American Packet over SONET (NAPS) is a technology that combines internet data packets with SONET, a high-capacity optical fiber network standard. It enables efficient transmission of digital data, such as emails and web traffic, over large distances by encapsulating data into packets and quickly sending them through fiber-optic lines. NAPS ensures reliable, high-speed delivery of internet traffic within telecommunications infrastructure, facilitating seamless communication across North America. Essentially, it integrates internet data handling with a robust, fiber-based backbone to support fast and dependable connectivity.
