Enhanced revenue potential, reduced expenses

The 1643 AMS system enhances service-provider revenue-generating opportunities by delivering services such as IP transport, Ethernet Layer 2 VPN and TDM. It decreases OPEX through efficient use of space in tight environments and low power consumption.

Extended Ethernet services

When deploying the optional Alcatel-Lucent TransLAN® Cards, the 1643 AMS delivers a diverse mix of standardized Ethernet services. Depending on the Trans- LAN Card selected, the 1643 AMS provides numerous capabilities:

•Full Layer 2 switching functional- ity: point-to-point and point-to- multipoint

•Virtual concatenation (VCAT) and generic framing procedure (GFP)

•Link capacity adjustment scheme

(LCAS)

•International Electotechnical

Commission (IEEE) 802.1Q and 802.1ad virtual local area network (VLAN) tagging

•VLAN trunking, saving physical interfaces at hub locations

As shown in Figure 1, the 1643 AMS supports cost-efficient and reliable multiservice transport for metro access. It can be deployed with other SDH platforms, such as the Alcatel- Lucent 1645 AMC, for aggregation to higher speed networks.
