Packet switching

The Alcatel-Lucent OMSN products share common integrated service adapter (ISA) blades that provide Layer 2 packet-switching functions, adapting the SDH transport infrastructure to the increasing demand for packet-based broadband services:

Offers MPLS-enabled Ethernet switching functions and ATM-switching capabilities, with enterprise system connection (ESCON), fiber connection (FICON) and Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces for improved data-stream connectivity and delivery of new IP-based broadband ser- vices such as triple play, Ethernet virtual private networks

(VPNs), storage networking and 3G mobile aggregation

Cost effectively manages and transports packet-baseddata applications within the existing optical infrastruc- ture, avoiding adding specific overlay data networks for metro broadband aggregation

Creates new revenues from current and future competitive data services by enforcing and verifying service level agreements (SLAs) based on embedded

Quality of Service (QoS) support (see Figure 1)

These capabilities transform the Alcatel-Lucent OMSN products into the cost-effective multitechnology nodes ideally targeted for optical metro networks where capacity, infrastructure costs, reliability and packet-based services play key roles in a user-centric broadband architecture.

1662, 1660 specifications

The Alcatel-Lucent 1660 and 1662 series are pivotal elements in the realm of optical networking, designed to meet the increasing demands for bandwidth while providing flexibility and scalability. These platforms are part of Alcatel-Lucent’s comprehensive portfolio of networking solutions, emphasizing the need for efficient communication in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

One of the key features of the Alcatel-Lucent 1660 series is its support for multiple services across a unified platform. This versatility allows service providers to deliver a range of services, including traditional voice, data, and newer, bandwidth-intensive applications, all within a single infrastructure. The ability to handle various wavelengths and protocols ensures that the system can adapt to varying customer requirements without necessitating significant hardware changes.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1660 is built upon the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, which significantly increases the capacity of optical fibers. By allowing multiple signals to travel simultaneously over a single fiber, the 1660 series can maximize existing networks and reduce the cost per bit of data transmission. This is particularly advantageous for service providers looking to expand their offerings and reach without extensive investment in new infrastructure.

In terms of characteristics, the series is known for its modular architecture. This design enables operators to easily upgrade and expand their systems as demand grows. The platform can be configured with a variety of plug-in cards and modules that support different data rates and protocols, allowing for a customized solution tailored to specific operational needs.

Moreover, reliability is at the forefront of the Alcatel-Lucent 1660 and 1662 series. With built-in redundancy options and robust fault management capabilities, operators can ensure uninterrupted service, a critical factor in today’s always-on society. The systems are designed to provide high availability and low latency, crucial for applications such as video conferencing, telemedicine, and cloud services.

Another noteworthy aspect is the management capabilities facilitated by the Alcatel-Lucent management software. This software provides operators with advanced monitoring and troubleshooting tools that enhance overall operational efficiency. The intuitive interface allows for easy configuration and maintenance, reducing the operational burden on network administrators.

In conclusion, the Alcatel-Lucent 1660 and 1662 series epitomize modern optical networking solutions that combine flexibility, scalability, and reliability. By leveraging DWDM technology and providing modularity, these platforms are equipped to handle current and future bandwidth demands, making them an excellent choice for service providers seeking to enhance their telecommunications infrastructure. Whether for urban deployments or long-haul applications, the Alcatel-Lucent 1660 and 1662 series represent a forward-thinking investment in networking technology.
