Local SDH transmission network design
We know that today's society is the information society. The highly developed information society requires thatthe communication network can provide a wide variety of telecommunication services. The amount of informationtransmitted, exchanged and processed through the communication network will increase, which requires the moderncommunication network to be digitalized, integrated, intelligent and personalized. The transmission system is animportant part of the communication network, directly restricting the development of the communication network.One of the most important developments in the world to develop the information superhighway, with one of thekey is to set up a large capacity transmission fiber network, continuously improve the transmission line on thesignal rate, widening the transmission band. It is like expanding capacity to accommodate a large number of traffi cin highways. At the same time the user wants the transmission network to have a worldwide interface standard, toaccess to global village, in where every user can easily communicate anytime and anywhere. Synchronous DigitalHierarchy (SDH) is a comprehensive information transmission network that integrates multiplexing, line transmissionand switching functions and is operated by a unifi ed network management system. It is a synchronous informationtransmission network developed by Bell Communication Technology Research Institute’s optical network (SONET).The International Telegraph and Telephone Advisory Committee (now ITU-T) received the SONET concept in 1988and renamed it SDH, making it a general technology system that applies not only to fiber but also to microwaveand satellite transmission. It is applied for eff ective management of network, real-time service monitoring, dynamicnetwork maintenance, interoperability between different vendors and other functions, greatly improves networkresource utilization, reduce management and maintenance costs, flexible and reliable and efficient networkoperation and maintenance. So it is in the center of attention in world's information fi eld of transmission technologydevelopment and application.
