Todays, the technology development in the field of the fiber optics has already been applied to the domestic backbone transmission lines, and it has already been put to used. The single mode system of the fiber optic which can handle the data rate more than 500 Mbps has been distributed extengively. According to this trend, the design and implementation of the backbone network using this technique is being carried out actively. The goals of the communication networks in the future are in satisfying the service requirements which are getting more diversified and personalized. To reach these goals, the transmission networks should be highly reliable. In other words, the networks should beconfigured protectively. That is, the transmission networks should be implemented to cover the service degradation, interruption in case of the failures of the equipments, the unforseen disasters, or the heavy traffics. In this point of view, this paper is simply to review and analyze the synchronous transmission technique which is now emerging in this area. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to present the most suitable way to improve the service for customers, the network reliability for service providers in the point of the network design, implementation and maintenance costs to be reduced in constructing the longhaul backbone network.
