Meeting enterprise demands

New services, such as triple play and business Ethernet, are placing great demands on the existing transport infrastructure. To be profitable, service providers must reduce OPEX while meeting SME demands by offering a host of revenue-generating Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet services. At the same time, they must avoid the complexity and expense of over- lay networks.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1643 AMS, a compact multiservice customer premises equipment (CPE), econo­ mically transports TDM and Ethernet services over SDH networks. This system converges voice and data traffic, eliminating the need for overlay networks.

The 1643 AMS efficiently delivers enterprise network services, such as LAN and Private Branch Exchange (PBX) interconnection over fiber,

all services where high performance and reliability are essential attributes. Used for interoffice applications in both access and mobile networks, it facilitates LAN-to-LAN communica- tions on campus and virtual private networks (VPNs). The 1643 AMS has the flexibility to function in diverse local-loop environments, supporting various ring configurations for fiber- to-the-business or -home (FTTB or FTTH) applications.
