Technical Superiority
The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE sup- ports up to 16 wavelengths sustaining variable-rate and fixed-rate optical interfaces, capable of accepting a broad range of data rates. Dedicated TDM concentrators (4xAny card and 2xGE-FC card) are available to opti- mize transportation of a bundle of signals, groomed accordingly to a syn- chronous frame structure. These cards reduce the cost of each client service and maximize optical channel usage.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE’s 4xAny concentrator card can multi- plex up to 4 low-speed client signals (for example OC-3/12, ATM1/4, FE,
GE, FC etc.) to one OC-48 signal. The 2xGE-FC card multiplexes two GigE or FC signals using the transparent-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-T) standard. A small number of backup cards, (compact in size and low in power consumption) keep the operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) costs of the Alcatel-Lucent1692 MSE low. Tributary cards for the Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE have hot plug-and-play optics; this permits customization of the transponder, resulting in increased flexibility of the product.
