YOUR BENEFIT
The Alcatel-Lucent 1677 SL offers SONET add/drop multiplexing, narrowband, wideband and broadband cross-connect functionality, plus DWDM. It supports a broad range of service interfaces and service features, such as virtual concatenation (VCAT), Gigabit Ethernet broadcasting, section, line and path performance monitoring right down to the DS1/DS3 level, and DS0 grooming. The Alcatel-Lucent 1677 SL offers a class-leading 1536 x 1536 synchronous transport signal level 1 (STS-1) fabric as well as second-to-none port density and switch density. The universal I/O is not constrained by line or tributary restrictions, and fully redundant common control and switching modules ensure quality of service (QoS) at the five nines standard or better.
