Intelligent Network Adaptability
Next generation networks feature intelligent network elements capable of communicating on a common plane for the purposes of optimizing and routing traffic. This creates an ideal scenario for service providers who wish to maximize network efficiency.
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) is the protocol that enables this enhanced level of communication. The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC is a GMPLS-ready platform, preparing service providers for the intelligent networks that lie ahead without compromising their current revenue-generating services. As a multiservice cross-connect, the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC can func- tion in a traditional or intelligent (GMPLS) network.
A Safe Landing for
Wireless Traffic
The role the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC can play in a wireless service provider’s network illustrates many of the cross-connect’s benefits. As more and more data traffic flows to and from cell phones, the Alcatel- Lucent 1671 SC cost effectively expands wireless market presence, providing next generation services to the end customer. As illustrated in Figure 6, the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC multiservice cross-connect can be networked with other Alcatel-Lucent devices to meet wireless service providers’ needs. Alcatel-Lucent will be happy to provide a solution for your requirements.
