Key orchestration function in your SDP

As the orchestration component in your SDP, the carrier-grade Alcatel- Lucent 5920 MCM easily integrates and scales to specific market needs (see Figure 2). The product provides an open and unified interface frame­ work and can efficiently process large amounts and varieties of content from multiple content providers and off- network partners.

The Alcatel-Lucent 5920 MCM supports the creation of compelling, personalized portals and storefronts, providing powerful merchandising tools that allow attractive service

offers and pricing options. This en­ riched subscriber experience is based on a flexible catalog structure, rich metadata definitions and subscriber segmentation. With the Alcatel-Lucent 5920 MCM, you can partner with vendors to provide additional capa­ bilities, such as encoding, content preparation and integration with Internet set-top boxes (STBs).

Interoperability and standards compliance

The Alcatel-Lucent 5920 MCM system has a flexible architecture and supports a number of standardized interfaces — shown in Figure 1 — as well as providing SDKs for easy integration

with third-party elements of your content-services infrastructure.

The Alcatel-Lucent 5920 MCM leverages a Business Process Exe­ cution Language (BPEL) engine that enables integration with Web services, allowing the sequencing of content-processing/delivery steps with external service-oriented archi­ tecture (SOA)-enabled systems.

The Alcatel-Lucent 5920 MCM has been included in other vendors’ SDP solutions as well as the Alcatel- Lucent SDP.
