Taking advantage of the Alcatel- Lucent 1540 Litespan family
Multiservice capabilities for increased revenue generation
With the multiservice capabilities of the Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan Family, you will be able to expand your revenue-generating opportunities. In addition to providing basic narrowband voice and data services (using POTS, ISDN, basic access/primary rate access, digital leased lines), the system delivers broadband Internet access, data transmission and video applications (such as VoD or IPTV) capabilities over digital subscriber lines (ADSL, ADSL2 or ADSL2plus) and global standard high bit rate DSL (G.SHDSL) to enable quicker business data services for business end users. Alcatel-Lucent’s 1540 Litespan represents the perfect triple-play solution for many types of access network scenarios.
Support of multiple topologies for more flexible applications
Star, ring, tree, point-to-point and mixed topologies are all supported.
Support of multiple transport options for easy integration with existing networks
The Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan integrates plesiochro- nous digital hierarchy (PDH) or SDH transport mecha- nisms for switching and data networks. An SDH add-drop multiplexer (ADM) with integrated Ethernet over SDH, occupies just one board. Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and GigaEthernet transport capabilities are also in the system. Moreover, traffic can be transported be- tween Litespan exchange units (EUs) and remote sub- tending units (RUs) through copper lines (using HDSL or g.SHDSL transport protocols), fiber connections or external leased-line networks.
Broadband (xDSL) traffic is routed through synchronous transport module 1 (STM-1) optical or E3/DS3 electrical interfaces to the ATM backbone, and through a Giga Ethernet port (10/100/1000Base-T or optical 100/1000 FX) to the (typically) IP backbone. This increases your flex- ibility when connecting to the IP data backbone through Metro Ethernet networks.
