  SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy is a standard for digital signal transmission within transport networks.
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy:Term used by ITTCC for SONET.
SDH defines a number of "containers," each corresponding to an existing plesiochronous rate (1.5, 2, 6, 34, 45 and 140 Mbps).

The use of synchronous digital transmission by PTOs in their backbone fibre-optic and radio network will put in place the enabling technology that will support many new broad-band data services demanded by the new breed of computer user.
Digital data and voice transmission is based on a 2.048Mbit/s bearer consisting of 30 time division multiplexed (TDM) voice channels, each running at 64Kbps (known as E1 and described by the CCITT G.703 specification).
The introduction of synchronous digital transmission in the form of SDH will eventually revolutionise all aspects of public data communication from individual leased lines through to trunk networks.

SDH defines a number of "Containers", each corresponding to an existing plesiochronous rate.
In a synchronous network, all equipment is synchonized to an overall network clock.
The process of loading containers, and attaching overhead is repeated at several levels in the SDH, resulting in the "nesting" of smaller VCs within larger ones.

 SDH - Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is a standard for transport of digital signals with different capacities.
In SDH technology management, functionality for service provisioning, fault management and restoration is built into the transport network.
SDH equipment and networks are currently undergoing a major evolution to 'data over SDH' or 'next-generation SDH' to transport data services more effectively.

 What is SDH
SDH is based on byte interleaving and not bit interleaving, as PDH was based on.
In order to synchronize between two multiplexers that works together, usually the transmission was made according to the local clock and the reception was made according to the recovered clock that was recovered from the received data.
SDH networks have flexible routing ability for circuit protection thus allowing rapid circuit reallocation and high circuit availability.

 Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, Synchronous Transport Model, Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy
As bandwidth demand grew the technology called Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) was developed by ITU-T G.702, whereby the basic primary multiplexer 2.048Mb/s trunks were joined together by adding bits (bit stuffing) which synchronised the trunks at each level of the PDH.
Multiplexers on the same level of the hierarchy remove the spare bits and are synchronised with each other at that level only.
VC12s created by different multiplexers may not be synchronous so the TU adds a pointer at a fixed position within the TU.

 What is SDH? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
- SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) is a standard technology for synchronous data transmission on optical media.
In digital telephone transmission, "synchronous" means the bits from one call are carried within one transmission frame.
SDH uses the following Synchronous Transport Modules (STM) and rates: STM-1 (155 megabits per second), STM-4 (622 Mbps), STM-16 (2.5 gigabits per second), and STM-64 (10 Gbps).

 Synchronous optical networking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The method was developed to replace the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) system for transporting large amounts of telephone and data traffic and to allow for interoperability between equipment from different vendors.
Synchronous networking differs from PDH in that the exact rates that are used to transport the data are tightly synchronized across the entire network, made possible by atomic clocks.
For both SONET and SDH this is normally represented by the frame being displayed graphically as a block: of 90 columns and 9 rows for SONET; and 270 columns and 9 rows for SDH.

 SONET/SDH: Synchronous Optical Network and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
The Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) are a set of related standards for synchronous data transmission over fiber optic networks that are often used for framing and synchronization at the physical layer.
SDH is the international version of the standard published by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
SONET is an ANSI standard defined in documents T1.105.xx and T1.119.xx and SDH is defined by ITU-T in documents G.707, G.781, G.782, G.783 and G.803.

SDH and SONET are two TDM standards widely used by operators to transport and multiplex different tributary signals over optical links, thus creating a multiplexing structure, which we call the SDH/SONET multiplex.
The fundamental signal in SDH is the STM-1 that operates at a rate of about 155 Mbps, while the fundamental signal in SONET is the STS-1 that operates at a rate of about 51 Mbps.

 muzicmate.com (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy)
SDH has provided transmission networks with a vendor-independent and sophisticated signal structure that has a rich feature set.
As digital networks increased in complexity in the early 1980s, demand from network operators and their customers grew for features that could not be readily provided within the existing transmission standards.
These features were based on high-order multiplexing through a hierarchy of increasing bit rates up to 140 Mbps or 565 Mbps in Europe and had been defined in the late 1960s and early 1970s along with the introduction of digital transmission over coaxial cables.

 NADH (North American Digital Hierarchy) (Linktionary term)
Early core transmission facilities used frequency division multiplexing, but in the 1960s this system was largely replaced with the PDH (plesiochronous digital hierarchy), which is a system of multiplexing numerous individual channels into higher-level channels.
Traditionally, each channel was a digitized voice call, but video information and data may also occupy a channel.
The basic channel is 64 Kbits/sec, which is the amount of bandwidth required to transmit a voice call that has been converted from analog to digital using a sampling rate of 8,000 times per second with the sample represented as an 8-bit value (8 × 8,000 = 64 Kbits/sec).
