D a t a M u l t i p l e x e r R e l e a s e 8

The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (DMX) integrates Ethernet, storage area network (SAN) and SONET functionality into a high capacity, compact platform. This combination enables multiservice growth for service providers from traditional voice/private line services to a hybrid mix of voice/private line, data/packet and SAN transmission services. For deployment and operational simplicity, it shares common software and many inter- faces with its compact companion product, the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend. The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX and 1665 DMXtend are key components of the comprehensive Alcatel-Lucent optical portfolio, providing end-to-end optical solutions for today’s metro and long-haul networks.
