Alcatel-Lucent 735x specification

Distributed DSLAMs – 24x fewer nodes to manage

The 735x FTTB product family not only supports the standard fiber and Ethernet aggregation technologies, it also offers the unique “Distributed DSLAMs” concept.

With this approach to aggregation, the Alcatel-Lucent 7330 Remote Aggregator serves as a host for remote REMs and SEMs. As a result, the number of nodes in a remote deploy- ment is reduced by a factor of 24x. This is because the remotes are managed, not as individual nodes, but as remote host linecards. This brings three advantages:

•Low aggregation CAPEX — The number of costly aggregation ports in the Ethernet MAN is reduced by the same factor of 24x.

•Cheaper and faster operations — Alarm management, software upgrades, and system configuration and mainte- nance are reduced by the same factor, reducing required staff and maintenance duration.

•Faster roll-out— Using the same line cards across the ISAM family not only means that the same service can be offered, but also results in faster qualification, easier training, simpler stock management, and faster feature availability roll-outs.

Virtual ONT – Consolidated management of copper and fiber users

By incorporating the Virtual ONT concept, the Alcatel- Lucent 7352 ISAM FTTB ONT lets service providers manage QoS for fiber and copper users in precisely the same way. Each VDSL copper user has the same QoS management as FTTH/GPON users, and is treated, in effect, as if each is a fiber user (i.e., with the same type of GPON T-CONTs mechanism). As a consequence, service providers enjoy significantly reduced OPEX.

Alcatel-Lucent Smart DSL –

Unprecedented line stability

Line stability is crucial for IPTV and streaming video, because each technology is highly sensitive to errors. Anything less than superior quality will meet with subscribers’ complaints. To meet this challenge, the Alcatel-Lucent 7354 ISAM FTTB RU, the 7356 ISAM FTTB REM, and the 7357 ISAM FTTB SEM are designed to take advantage of Alcatel-Lucent’s Smart DSL, an innovative technology, which significantly increases DSL line stability. Compared to the standard technique of increasing the noise margin, which often leads to much lost bandwidth, Alcatel-Lucent Smart DSL stabilizes lines at as much as 30 percent higher bit rates.

Smallest MSAN on the market –

Reduced footprint and multiservice access

The Alcatel-Lucent 735x Product Family also boasts the smallest Multi-service Access Node (MSAN) available today. As such, the Alcatel-Lucent 7356 ISAM FTTB REM is ideal for service providers rolling out Very High Speed broadband services from remote deployments with a smooth migration for existing ADSL and voice customers. Its support for the P2P Ethernet line card also provides a path toward mixed DSL/fiber deployments from the cabinet, and also offers voice termination. For ease of deployment, training, and stocking, the FTTB family’s DSL, fiber, splitter and voice cards are the same ones as those being used in the CO/FTTN members of the ISAM portfolio.

Thus, providers can easily adapt to changing market demands without a complete system overhaul.

One of the key features of the Alcatel-Lucent 735x is its support for IP/MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) technology. This is vital for operators looking to optimize their networks for greater efficiency and performance. With IP/MPLS, the 735x supports high-speed data transfer, reducing latency and enhancing the overall user experience. Additionally, the platform offers advanced traffic engineering features that allow for better management of bandwidth and network resources.

Alongside IP/MPLS, the 735x delivers carrier-grade Ethernet capabilities, making it ideal for providers aiming to offer reliable Ethernet services. The integrated Ethernet functionality ensures that customers can benefit from high-speed, low-latency connections, which are increasingly essential in today's digital landscape.

The Alcatel-Lucent 735x also provides enhanced security features, crucial for safeguarding sensitive data during transmission. The platform’s security protocols protect against potential threats, ensuring that network integrity remains uncompromised.

Moreover, the 735x is designed with operational efficiency in mind. Its innovative management tools streamline network operations, allowing for easier configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This not only reduces operational costs but also enhances the overall reliability of the network.

In summary, the Alcatel-Lucent 735x is a versatile and powerful platform equipped with cutting-edge technologies. Its modular architecture, support for IP/MPLS and Ethernet, security features, and efficient management tools make it an indispensable choice for service providers aiming to enhance their networking capabilities and meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem.
