A 138kv system, consisting of ten transmission lines and eight substations were upgraded with a new communications system to improve the monitoring, protection and control functions, as well as to eliminate the requirements for leased lines from the telephone companies. Fiber optic communications were chosen to take advantage of fiber`s immunity to noise, large bandwidth capability, flexibility, and other characteristics. SONET transmission equipment was chosen to take advantage of the newest technology available, and to allow maximum capability for future expansion.
