Offering significant space efficiency, the Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU is ap-
plicable to CPE, Central Office (CO)
and street-cabinet deployments. Two
rack-mounted versions serve CPE and CO deployments, the larger version with two main and four option card slots (2m/4o), and the smaller with
one main and two option card slots
(1m/2o). The street-cabinet configu-
ration operates over an extended
temperature range and is available in both large and small versions.
CPE deployments
The smaller 1m/2o Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU offers simple and cost- effective Ethernet, E1, STM-1,STM-4, and STM-16 access, supporting applications such as enterprise networking and mobile backhaul networks.
CO deployments
The Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU
2m/4o version adds or drops up to
252 E1s. It includes one core pack, optional power, switch, synchro nization core protection and four option slots. When deployed in a CO, the Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU supports advanced Ethernet services plus FTTB applications in either ring or mesh configurations.
These configurations offer high-speed Internet access by connecting business LANs with the Internet service provider (ISP) point of presence (POP), data-center connection through high-speed links and cost-efficient massive E1 drops in hub applications.
Street- cabinet deployments
Some services preclude the use of CO or CPE deployments. These include fiber to anywhere needed (FTTx) and transport for services
requiring shorter loop lengths, such as ADSL+, VDSL and cable-TVplants. The Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU street-cabinet version is ideal for these situations.
