SONET (Synchronous Optical Networking)

Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) is a standardized digital communication protocol used to transmit large amounts of data over optical fiber cables. It organizes data into a specific format, allowing different types of information to travel simultaneously, like multiple lanes on a highway. SONET ensures the data arrives reliably and in sync, making it ideal for telecommunication networks. It supports high-speed internet, phone services, and video transmissions by managing bandwidth efficiently and enabling quick recovery from errors, thus ensuring smooth and continuous communication.
