Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) is a standard for communicating digital information over optical fibre. It is closely related to the similar Synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) standard.

Both SONET and SDH can be used to encapsulate earlier digital transmission standards, such as the PDH standard, or used directly to support so-called Packet over SONET networking.
