What is SONET?What is SONET?
SONET provides a digital multiplex format for the wide bandwidth of optical fiber cable.
What this means is that one can take different inputs, multiplex them together, and send them on a line with wide bandwidth, therefore having faster transmissions.

Why SONET?Why SONET?
Before SONET, the capacities of multiplex formats was in the range of 100-500 Mbps. Although the base SONET format (STS-1) can handle 51.840 Mbps, it is easily multiplexed itself to render higher data rates. This combination is called STS-N where N is an integer. STS-9 has a data rate of 466.56 Mbps. It is expected that N will reach 255 soon.

What is SONET used for?What is SONET used for?
There are many uses to SONET. It can be used to transmit any type of data over a wide bandwidth line.
So SONET can be used for high-capacity telephone lines, data transmission, etc

The 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta used fiber optics for all of their transmissions and they used SONET to work it all out!
