What is SONET?
SONET (Synchronous Optical Networking) is a standardized digital communication protocol used to transport high-bandwidth data over optical fiber. It is commonly used in telecommunications to carry multiple lower-bandwidth digital signals using time-division multiplexing (TDM). SONET defines a hierarchy of transmission rates and formats, enabling efficient and reliable data transport across long distances.
