The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320 is a next-generation, Packet-Optical Transport platform that supports any mix of traffic, from all-circuit to all-packet. Its unique universal matrix seamlessly switches packets or circuits in their native format, cost effectively transforming from TDM to packets. With the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320, businesses can begin with circuit-based transport and, over time, gradually ramp up packet transport by simply changing line cards. The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320 supports current traffic requirements while eliminating the scalability issues encountered when traditional multiservice provisioning platforms are confronted with the high growth of packet-based traffic.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320 offers the flexibility to split increasing traffic demands among any combination of carrier Ethernet, Transport MPLS (T-MPLS), wavelength division multi- plexing (WDM), optical data unit (ODU) and SDH/SONET transport technologies. It offers powerful cross-layer network management and a unifiied control plane, simplifying operations and reducing the total cost of ownership.
