We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Sonet",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Field tester adds faster fibre coverage from
JDSU, which we summarised at the time by saying "Engineered to address the growing demands for installation and troubleshooting of Fibre Channel services in metro networks".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Amplifiers double the signal gain from
Micrel: "Postamplifiers are intended for applications where the receiver optical subassemblies with low-cost/low-gain transimpedance amplifiers and/or PIN photodiodes are used".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Exfo Electro-Optical Engineering
concerning its FTB-8140
- take a look at Network tester runs up to 43Gbit/s
which says: "Module provides advanced Sonet/SDH and OTN test functions in a single module to address the demands of commissioning and troubleshooting 43Gbit/s networks".
Take a look also at the news release from Lightstorm Networks, IC accelerates carrier Ethernet services,
as well as Metro network analyser stretches up to 120km from Exfo Electro-Optical Engineering,
and Optical interfaces boast top bandwidth from Xilinx.
