Features: The book's distinctive feature is to explore the development of telecommunication transmission networks from the perspective of technological evolution. During the writing process, it not only analyzes and explains the evolution of transmission networks from a technical standpoint but also from a market perspective. Considering that technical workers in transmission networks are distributed across various fields such as operations, manufacturing, marketing, education, and R&D, the book selects materials based on the technical and managerial content of transmission network planning and operations, while also addressing the content relevant to all aspects of the work. The content is both in-depth and accessible, well-organized, and covers a broad scope, making it suitable for reading and reference by technicians, managers, and marketing personnel in the telecommunications industry, as well as for teaching use in related university communication programs. The book closely aligns with the development of telecommunication transmission networks, comprehensively and systematically introducing the evolution from traditional telecommunication transmission systems to next-generation transmission networks. It thoroughly analyzes the evolutionary path from PDH to Automatic Switched Optical Networks (ASON), covering the various technologies that emerged during the process. The book is divided into 12 chapters, primarily discussing three main content areas: the key technical characteristics and standardization of transmission networks, as well as the development direction of transmission networks; significant technological advancements in the field of transmission networks in recent years; and the intelligence of transmission network management and control, as well as ASON networking, control plane protocols, equipment, and their applications.
