Course Description
Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) have become the worldwide standard for the interface and multiplexing of user information to optical networks. SONET/SDH systems allow much greater network flexibility and management over existing optical systems. In this course, overview of the SONET/SDH system components as well as the end-to-end SONET/SDH network design process is presented. Essentials of SONET/SDH synchronization, control, network management, and practical deployment issues are discussed. Specific focus will be on design and planning issues.
