SONET, SDH, and ATM are optical communications systems that are fast becoming key solutions for the increasing bandwidth demands of the 21st century. This introductory text is designed to help understand how these systems work. Besides describing the fundamentals of these three major technologies, the book brings the reader's attention to the latest developments and even covers the future trends, for example, convergence of communications - that is, voice, video and data mixed together and sent over the same network. Convergence along with ultrahigh transmission speeds and ultra broadband optical networks is expected to trigger the next communications revolution.
