A scalable multiservice platform to meet your future network growth
The Metropolis® ADM MultiService Mux is a next- generation optical multiservice platform that supports both traditional PDH/SDH services and next-generation data services over SDH. Designed to cost-effectively and reliably address a variety of applications and market needs, it supports the following configurations:
•Add/Drop Multiplexer
•Local Cross Connect
•Terminal Multiplexer
•STM-4/16/64 Multi-Ring Hub
•Ethernet aggregation and transport
The Metropolis® ADM offers a feature-rich, standards compliant, highly reliable and scalable platform. It leverages Lucent’s expertise in optical networking and deep understanding of SDH networks accumulated through the well established WaveStar® ADM 16/1 platform. Rapid deployment is now possible with its easy to install and provision design, which means fast CAPEX recovery. Offered in either a Universal or Compact shelf, it fits in both metro core and metro access network layers with optimized STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64 line speed configurations.
Increases revenue potential through data/TDM service integration
The Metropolis® ADM offers a versatile grow-as-you-go platform that supports a wide variety of services. With its fully non-blocking architecture, Metropolis ADM commands an unrivaled system capacity capable of terminating multiple rings in STM-64, STM-16, and STM-4 network applications. In addition, its leading PDH/SDH features support traditional revenue- generating services, while employing the Lucent Technologies TransLAN® Cards enable effective penetration into new Ethernet services market. The diverse portfolio of services include:
•PDH leased line access (DS1, E1, E3, DS3)
•SDH leased line access (STM-1o/e up to STM-64)
•Ethernet services:
–Supports E/FE/GbE Ethernet data rates
–Transparent transport of Ethernet traffic over SDH network
–Supports Ethernet Private Line (EPL), Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL), Ethernet Private LAN (EPLAN), and Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPLAN) services
–Supports Ethernet PM and RTM (Round Trip delay Measurement) services

Key user applications include:
•Voice and broadband business data aggregation and transport
•Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-T, 100BASE-LX10) and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) LAN interconnect and VPN
•ISP router interconnects
•IPTV support with IGMP Snooping Typical network applications include:
•Central office – grooms and hands off traffic to TDM and ATM switches and DWDM. Ethernet data can be cost-effectively handed off to core routers via GbE trunking support.
•Hub office – interconnects and terminates high-speed rings and grooms traffic for efficient bandwidth usage.
•Access feeder – closes and grooms multiple STM- 1/4/16 access rings and cost effectively trunks Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and GbE traffic.
•Office parks – offers scalable and cost-effective access services, such as voice and data interconnection and VoIP transport.
The Metropolis® ADM supports in-service upgrades from 2.5G to 10G which helps reduce initial investment and provides a highly scalable growth path that eliminates the need for forklift upgrades, allowing enhancements to the platform as demand dictates.
Helps achieve operational savings
The Metropolis® ADM is managed under one common, well integrated management system as part of Lucent Technologies global transport solution. This helps to reduce staff training, improve deployment efficiency, and simplify maintenance procedures.
The Metropolis® ADM (Compact and Universal shelf) combines the strengths of Ethernet and SDH into a flexible, high-density network element designed with full front accessibility.
