Providing IXCs with a Converged Infrastructure

The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC can also be used to enable interexchange carriers (IXCs) to collapse their narrowband, wideband and broadband switching layers into a single, converged infrastructure, as shown in Figure 1. In this scenario, the benefits to the IXCs include:

High speed optical interfaces, which reduce local access fees

Support for central office modernization to reduce hardware requirements and maximize network efficiency
