Packet over SONET (PoS)

Packet over SONET (PoS) is a method that allows data packets, like those used in internet communications, to be transmitted over a SONET network. SONET, or Synchronous Optical Networking, is a high-speed fiber-optic communication technology that efficiently moves large amounts of data. By using PoS, service providers can send different types of data, such as internet traffic and voice, over the same SONET infrastructure. This optimizes bandwidth and enhances the flexibility of data transport, making it easier for networks to manage and deliver various services seamlessly and quickly.
