Unrivaled Reliability
Reliability is critical in a next-gener- ation network element and whether your business is transporting voice, data or video, the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC platform offers unrivaled performance reliability while exceed- ing NEBS Level 3 standards as defined in GR-63-CORE. The redundancy of all key components results in much greater resiliency when compared to the competition. The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC provides a Copy 0/Copy 1 physically diverse matrix structure in which traffic flows through both matrix copies while the I/O determines the best path. This allows for seamless scalability and ease of maintenance. In addition, the facility naming func- tion allows hierarchical identification of downline facilities — right down to the DS0 level if required.
Unparalleled Capacity with Room to Grow
The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC sets the new industry standard offering 240 Gb/s matrix capacity, with Copy 0/Copy 1 redundancy, in only two seven-foot I/O racks. When developing the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC, Alcatel-Lucent considered all types of businesses, large and small. The result is a per-rack capacity that scales in small increments promot- ing a pay-as-you-grow philosophy. Coupled with a wide array of cus- tomer interfaces, the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC is designed to meet the needs of a variety of customers and applica- tions. This tremendous capacity, with its full breadth of interfaces, is already enabling businesses to maximize their network capabilities from the core to the edge, while eliminating the need for adjunct devices or overbuilds.
