Seamless Delivery of Traditional Circuit and Advanced Data Services
The Alcatel-Lucent 1675 LambdaUnite MSS leverages your existing investments in SONET/ SDH networks to support traditional revenue-generating services while enabling new Ethernet services. Combining SONET/SDH resilience and quality of service (QoS) with the flexibility and ubiquity of Ethernet helps the system deliver carrier-grade Ethernet services in point-to-point and multipoint configurations.
The Alcatel-Lucent TransLAN® card option offers efficient and flex- ible bandwidth-assignment capabil- ities, including virtual concatenation and link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), to enable voice and data transport and to help avoid separate overlay networks that are costly to build and manage.
Central-Office Consolidation Opportunities
The Alcatel-Lucent 1675 LambdaUnite MSS performs as a metro hub terminal, efficiently aggregating multiple high-capacity rings in your central office. This deployment can result in significant cost savings by eliminating stacked ADMs at metro hubs. The central- ized non-blocking switch is available in 160G, 320G and 640G switching- capacity options in a single shelf, to help reduce floor space and operation costs.
High fiber utilization is accom- plished using granular STS-1/VC-4 and VT-1.5/VC-12 grooming, a wide range of service interfaces, and advanced data-transport capabilities. Occupying very little floor space because of their high density, two complete Alcatel-Lucent 1675 LambdaUnite MSSs fit in one rack, providing up to 1.2 Tb/s per bay.
As shown in Figure 1, the Alcatel- Lucent 1675 LambdaUnite MSS supports various types of traffic and protection schemes — all in one network element.
