Cost-Effective Support for a
Variety of Network Applications
The Alcatel-Lucent 1675 LambdaUnite MultiService Switch (MSS) is a next-generation optical switch that supports a variety of applications, including add/drop multiplexer (ADM), terminal multiplexer, multi-ring hub and broadband cross-connect. This multifunctional platform helps lower costs by reducing equipment, floor- space and power requirements while improving operational efficiency and network reliability.
The system supports both SDH and SONET rates, making it suitable for global network deployments. Its common hardware/software and industry-standards compliance help position you for rapid feature introduc- tion and increased revenue opportunities, for small to large office applications in backbone and metro networks.
In a Metro Network
In a metro network, the Alcatel-Lucent 1675 LambdaUnite MSS serves as a metro hub terminal, efficiently aggregating multiple 2.5G and 10G rings to help eliminate stacked ADMs. An optional passive wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) unit can be integrated for fiber exhaust situations.
