optical transmission section (OTH) (OTS)
The Optical Transmission Section (OTS) is the optical transmission section between two optical regenerators or between an optical multiplexer( OMUX) and a regenerator in the Optical Transport Hierarchy( OTH).
All OTS sections together form the Optical Multiplex Section( OMS), comparable to the Multiplex Section( MS) in the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy( SDH).
