Lucent Technologies, leader in optical networking, offers the industry's widest range of high-quality communications systems. Intelligent multiplexers, flexible high- capacity transport systems and associated management systems form the building blocks of today's networks. Using these building blocks, customers are provided with equipment to meet their requirements for services, capacity and quality. The WaveStar™ ADM 16/1, is a member of the WaveStar family of Lucent Technologies optical networking products.
INTRODUCTION
The WaveStar ADM 16/1 is a high-capacity intelligent multiplexer and transport system
able to multiplex PDH, SDH, SONET and EtherNet bit rates to higher levels up to 2.5 Gbps (STM-16). Because of this wide range in capacity, this system is a key element in building efficient and flexible networks.
The main strengths of the product are:
·Massive add/drop capacity directly from the STM-16 level e.g. 504 x E1, 96 x DS-3,
64 x 10/100 BASE-T, 32 x STM-1 etc.
·Compact design (single row).
·Easy installation & maintenance.
·Flexibility in applications.
·Advanced protection mechanisms allowing state-of-the-art SDH network design.
These outstanding features make the WaveStar ADM 16/1 one of the most cost-effective future- proof network elements. The system can be deployed with other Lucent Technologies optical networking products, making the WaveStar ADM 16/1 one of the main building blocks of future SDH networks.
The WaveStar ADM 16/1 is controlled and managed by Lucent Technologies Integrated Transport Management (ITM), a user-friendly network and element level management system with in-service upgrade facilities.
