path terminating equipment (PTE)

A Path Terminating Equipment (PTE) operates in optical networks as a path- level terminal multiplexer for DS transmission interfaces, Synchronous Transport Signal ( STS) and other signals. They are used to multiplex Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy ( PDH) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy ( SDH) signals into higher bit rate STM, Synchronous Transfer Mode, signals.
