- SDH and PDH are two digital hierarchies in which different line speeds (e.g. E1, T1, STM1) are categorized.
- PDH (plesiosynchronous digital hierarchy) was replaced by SDH (synchronous digital hierarchy) due to its drawback in synchronisation where plesio refers to nearlysynchronous.
- E1, T1 and J1 are generally categorized under PDH. STM1, OC3, STM4, OC12 etc. are categorized under SDH.
- E1 is used worldwide nowadays in 2G technologies except North America and Japan (who are using T1 and J1 respectively). It is the line speed of 2Mbps. But how this speed comes along? The derivation is as follows.
- The audio signals were sampled and converted to digital signal at 64kbps, since 1960s for digital transmission of voice calls. When 32 channels (30 assigned for voice channels and 2 channels for framing and signaling), with each having speed of 64kbps are put together (or we call multiplexing), a line speed of E1, i.e. 2Mbps is produced by having 32 x 64kbps = 2.048Mbps.
- T1 line, which transmits at 1.544 Mbps can be interconnected with E1 for international use.
- Having 3 different speeds (E1, T1 and J1), PDH was later replaced by SDH in order to standardize the speed, making only 1 standard speed worldwide, which is STM1 having the speed of 155.52Mbps.

∙ 12y agoSDH is very useful equipment that is used for the telecommunication sector in easy transfer of data. Earlier PDH was widely used but due to some of its weaknesses, SDH has replaced the use of PDH. But not everywhere. Point to Point applications are still used mainly by PDH, and also, it's cheaper.
PDH or the plesiochronous digital hierarchy is a popular technology that is widely used in the networks of telecommunication in order to transport the huge amounts of data over the digital equipment for transportation like microwave radio or fiber optic systems. The term plesiochronous has been derived from the Greek work 'plesio' that means 'near' and 'chronos' meaning time. This means that the PDH works in a state when the various different parts of a network are clearly synchronized. But with the change in technology, the PDH is now being replaced by the SDH or what is popularly called as synchronous digital hierarchy. The SDH is useful equipment that is used in most of the telecommunications networks.

Difference bw sdh and pdh?
- Bit justification is needed in PDH - No would standards available at optical interface in PDH - line rates are not standard - Interfacing problem at multivendor equipment - PDH supports 16E1s and SDH supports 63E1s
How clock synchronization occurs in a distributed system?
it uses a transport like pdh,sdh, there are PRC as a grand master and the network elements locked unto it. the synch can pass throught the clock

What molecules are involved in pyruvate dehydrogenase and their functions?
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) are regulated by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDH-K) and PDH phosphatase. PDH-K effect on PDH is that it will inactivate PDH and PDH phosphatase will reactivate PDH. PDH-K is regulated by energy surpluses (ATP, NADH) and energy deficits (ADP, NAD). So when there is an energy surplus, PDH-K will inhibit PDH, and vice versa. PDH phosphatase will activate PDH and is upregulated by magnesium and calcium.
What IS the DISadvantages of PDH?
The PDH interface standard is not uniform,there is 1.5Mbps and 2Mbps. The PDH system have not strong management function.

What are the advantages of SONET over PDH?
•Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) is the original standard for telephone network, now abandoned in favor of SONET/SDH • Exploits Time Division Multiplexing• Designed to support digital voice channels at 64kb/s•No store and forward: imposes strict synchronization between TX and RX. A "plesio-synchronous" (almost synchronous) solution is adopted• Different standards in US/Europe/JapanSONET:•Synchronous optical networking is a method for communicating digital information using lasers or light emitting diodes (LEDs) over optical fiber.•SONET was introduced to handle large amount of telephone calls and interoperability between equipments of different vendors.•Synchronous networking differs from PDH in that exact rates that are used to transport the data are highly synchronized across the entire network, made possible by atomic clocks.
What is the difference between sonet and sdh?

How many E1 lines does PDH has?
There are 63 e1's in sdh STM-1 = 63 x E1; STM-4 = 63 x 4 E1; STM-16 = 63 x 16 E1; STM-64 = 63 x 64 E1.
