The Alcatel-Lucent 735x ISAM FTTB Product Family is the newest addition to the ISAM family, and gives service providers the flexibility and scalability neces- sary for the successful delivery of triple play services. By allowing operators to deploy DSLAM equipment closer to the subscriber — typically in building, curb, or cabinet deployments — the Alcatel-Lucent 735x ISAM FTTB Product Family enables cost-effective delivery of triple play services. Besides the standard Ethernet and GPON aggregation technologies, the 735x family also supports the unique Distributed DSLAM concept, which allows operators to manage small DSLAMs as remote linecards of a central host, resulting in low aggregation CAPEX and low OPEX.

Brokering the

new world of triple play

Video has become a key agent of change. Service providers are being forced to innovate by offering competitively differentiated services and by exploring new business models based on targeted advertising, e-commerce integra- tion, and revenue sharing with application and content providers. While services such as these are boosting ARPU (average revenue per user), they are also placing unprec- edented stress on the traditional high-speed Internet infrastructure.

Consider these facts: end users downloaded 100 billion Internet video clips in 2007; by 2011, streaming video content will increase from 0.3 Exabytes (EBs) to 10 EB. What’s more, analysts are predicting 55 million IPTV subscribers in three years time. Just as significant, Youtube currently accounts for 10 percent of all Internet traffic, while over-the- top streaming comprises 20 percent. All of this, coupled with the fact that the top four user generated content (UGC) providers — Youtube, Google, Yahoo, and MSN — with a combined audience of 94 million, is driving service providers to provide not only the required bandwidth but also the necessary quality of experience (QoE) that their end users want and expect.

To meet this challenge — to provide the scalability and quality that these video applications require — service providers need to determine the best strategy to meet escalating bandwidth requirements. Among other things, they need to identify the most economical point for fiber deployment, while also leveraging their existing copper assets. Put somewhat differently, they need to find a cost- effective solution capable of assuring the QoE required to deliver triple play services in both high and low density areas. The good news is that, in combination with Alcatel- Lucent ISAM portfolio, the Alcatel-Lucent 735x FTTB ISAM Product Family is letting service providers extend the triple play offer to all subscribers in order to achieve 100-percent coverage.

This is vital for operators looking to optimize their networks for greater efficiency and performance. With IP/MPLS, the 735x supports high-speed data transfer, reducing latency and enhancing the overall user experience. Additionally, the platform offers advanced traffic engineering features that allow for better management of bandwidth and network resources.

Alongside IP/MPLS, the 735x delivers carrier-grade Ethernet capabilities, making it ideal for providers aiming to offer reliable Ethernet services. The integrated Ethernet functionality ensures that customers can benefit from high-speed, low-latency connections, which are increasingly essential in today's digital landscape.

The Alcatel-Lucent 735x also provides enhanced security features, crucial for safeguarding sensitive data during transmission. The platform’s security protocols protect against potential threats, ensuring that network integrity remains uncompromised.

Moreover, the 735x is designed with operational efficiency in mind. Its innovative management tools streamline network operations, allowing for easier configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This not only reduces operational costs but also enhances the overall reliability of the network.

In summary, the Alcatel-Lucent 735x is a versatile and powerful platform equipped with cutting-edge technologies. Its modular architecture, support for IP/MPLS and Ethernet, security features, and efficient management tools make it an indispensable choice for service providers aiming to enhance their networking capabilities and meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem.
