Synchronous Optical Networking

Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) is a technology for transmitting large amounts of data over optical fiber cables. It organizes the data into a standardized format, allowing for efficient and reliable communication between different network systems. This synchronization ensures that data streams are sent and received at the same pace, reducing delays and improving overall performance. SONET is widely used by telecommunications companies to connect customers and transmit voice, video, and internet services over long distances, enabling fast and efficient data transfer within their networks.
