Built to Deliver

The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR delivers IP/MPLS and pseudowire capabilities in a high-density, future-proof architecture that will enable you to address evolving aggregation requirements. It is architected to provide superior service delivery through effective provisioning, traffic management, troubleshooting and billing features.

The 7705 SAR platform delivers strong convergence capabilities in the mobile RAN. With native service processing of 2G, 3G and 4G traffic, it has the ability to groom multiple media and transport protocols onto

a normalized, economical packet transport infrastructure. Industry-leading scalability and density is provided in a compact unit offering a flexible mixture of multiport T1/E1, 10/100 Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, along with ATM/IMA, TDM and Ethernet pseudowires over MPLS for legacy service support.

On the network side, media connectivity options are: Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and n x T1/E1 (MLPPP). The platform can be optionally configured with a redundant core module and uplinks.

The 7705 SAR is ideally suited to these applications:

•Radio access network aggregation and backhaul

¬Convergence at the cell site or hub (point of concentration)

•T1/E1 private line services

¬Modernized, normalized transport of legacy services

¬Fixed-mobile convergence over a packet backbone

The 7705 SAR extends the intellectual property and field-hardened service capabilities of the 7750/7710 Service Router platform.

Table 1. Features and Benefits

Feature Benefit

A solution based on the 7705 SAR and 7750/7710 SR Ethernet-centric platforms delivers industry-leading IP/MPLS and pseudowire capabilities based on Ethernet interfaces. This allows cost-effective migration from E1/T1-based backhaul to packet-based transport leveraging Ethernet services over a wide range of first mile media.

The 7705 SAR inherits and builds upon the same rigorously proven development base as the 7750/7710 SR line of products. Alcatel-Lucent’s in-service experience in high quality Ethernet services and pseudowire deployments is unmatched in the industry. Transition from PDH-based connectivity to Ethernet-based can reduce recurring operational expenses (OPEX) such as leased line costs.

IP/MPLS networking and platform attributes are available to drive reliability to 99.999 percent levels and beyond. Resiliency and redundancy features include: one-for-one hitless control and switch card failover, synchronization redundancy, network uplink resiliency and redundancy of power feeds.

Advanced resiliency features lead to improved network uptime. This can positively impact customer retention and allow critical services to be offered for increased revenue.

The flexibility of the solution enables investment decisions to be made according to longer term trends such as long term evolution (LTE),

IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), and fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), and enables you to avoid stranding investment.

The solution brings fully IP/MPLS networking capable platforms to the hub and cell site. This allows great flexibility for supporting LTE networking and also wireline business services on the same infrastructure. As a leading mobility and IMS vendor, Alcatel-Lucent is uniquely positioned to assist in long term planning.
