A brief history of attempts to use solitons for optical fiber communications and of the technical developments toward making soliton transmission practical is reviewed. The main problems affecting long-distance soliton transmission, as well as techniques to solve them, are described. Recent developments concerning the use of dispersion management and some of the remarkable properties of dispersion managed solitons are also discussed.
