E1 (TS0 to TS31)
Primary unit of PDH
i.e. E1
PDH is almost synchronous.
It is simply Multiplexing of E1`s.
Sampling, Quantizing & Encoding (i.e. PCM) of Analog voice channels
produces 64Kbps channel.
32 such channels multiplexed to produce E1 (the basic unit of PDH)
Formation of E2, E3…
As basic unit of PDH is E1
E1=32X64Kbps = 2.048Mbps
E2=4E1=8.44Mbps
E3=4E2=16E1=34.368Mbps
E4=4E3=140Mbps
Disadvantages of PDH System:
Not fully synchronous.
Complex hardware
Back to back multiplexing
Less bandwidth
More hardware cost
If we want to get E1 from E4 ,we have to demultiplex it by going back
step by step. i.e.1
st
E4 is broken into E3, then E3 to E2 & so on, thus
form a complex hardware.

Journey from E1 to STM 1
Key features
It is fully synchronous.
It can carry circuit switched or Packet Switched both.
All network element use same clock.
Tributary can mapped or extracted directly from pointers.
Different transmission rates in STM
STM1: 155Mbps
STM4: 622Mbps
STM16: 2.48Gbps
STM64: 10Gbps
