From the Back Cover
A unique and practical master guide that will help you achieve greater bandwidth. Speed, increased bandwidth, flexibility, and cost-efficiency: These are just some of the advantages that are making the Synchronous Optical Network or SONET--the international standard for high-speed data transmission via fiber optic cable--a technology in high demand. In a growing family of industries and in a wide variety of uses--from new aircraft to sports stadiums to telephone and cable--SONET is rapidly becoming a technology-of-choice. This is the first truly comprehensive guide to SONET--and the first guide to treat the system as an independent service and technology. Going beyond more byte-level technical details, SONET: A Guide to Synchronous Optical Networks shows you how to work with SONET. You'll find practical, real-world applications, including techniques for achieving greater bandwidth. Other features include: turotials (a``survivors' guide'') containing information on basic fiber optic transmission technology and concepts; explanation of the global digital hierarchly, with SONET applications; discussions of SONET protocol architecture and operation; illustration of the SONET/ATM link, and how the two technologies work together, plus key concepts behind B-ISDN; international applications: a comparison between SONET and SDH, Europe's Synchronous Digital Hierarchy system (the European standard); a comprehensive listing of currently available SONET equipment, plus vendors which build and supply SONET components. Thoroughly covering every aspect of SONET--including other, complementary technologies necessary to maximize SONET use--this is an indispensable text for network administrators, engineers, and carrier personnel working with end users.
