SDH – Synchronous Digital Hierarchy

The Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is a standard for synchronous digital transmission on optical fiber. SDH enables the transport of data at different rates and supports multiple services including voice, video, and data. SDH has been widely adopted by telecommunications service providers around the world and has become the de facto standard for synchronous digital transmission.

SDH provides a number of benefits over traditional asynchronous transmission systems, including improved performance, scalability, and flexibility. SDH also supports advanced features such as protection switching and network management.

Despite these advantages, there are some challenges associated with SDH deployments. First, SDH requires significant investment in infrastructure due to its reliance on optical fibers and specialized equipment. Second, interoperability between different vendors can be difficult to achieve due to differences in implementation details. Finally, provisioning new services or upgrading existing ones can be complex due to the hierarchical nature of the technology.
