Features: This book closely integrates the development of telecommunication transmission networks and comprehensively introduces 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) and covers various technologies that emerged during the evolution. 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 their development direction; 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. The book's distinctive feature is its exploration of 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 telecommunication network technology professionals 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 presented in an accessible and well-organized manner, covering a broad scope, making it suitable for reading and reference by technical personnel, management, and marketing professionals in telecommunication departments, as well as for teaching use in related university communication programs.
