Legacy Technology: Channelized TDM Transmission Systems
Perihal e-buku ini
From about 1960 to 2000, the telecom network was constructed of high-capacity transmission systems shared amongst users by employing Channelized Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM), also known as Synchronous Time-Division Multiplexing.
These systems are now referred to as legacy systems, meaning left over from a previous era... but that does not mean they have disappeared. Telephone companies tend to keep existing systems running for as long as possible.
In this module, you'll learn the channelized DS0-DS1-DS3 digital hierarchy, and technologies like T1 and SONET that implement it.
We'll review how traffic from many different circuits is organized to be communicated together 8,000 times per second in transmission frames.
The module is completed with an overview of the now-almost-completely-obsolete ISDN services.
