Alcatel-Lucent 1645 AMC Access Mutiplexer Compact Cost-effective and compact STM-1/4 multiservice metro access
The Alcatel-Lucent 1645 Access Multiplexer Compact (AMC) is a Synchronous Transport Module 1/4 (STM-1/4) platform that allows service providers to deliver a rich set of cost-effective TDM and Ethernet services to small and medium enterprises (SME). Offering enhanced revenue-generating potential and eliminating the need for overlay networks, it is energy efficient and compact, improving the use of space while reducing operating expenditures (OPEX).
Meeting enterprise demands To be profitable, service providers must reduce OPEX while meeting business customers’ demands by offering a host of revenue-generating Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet services. Simultaneously, some enterprises want to build, operate and control their own networks. For the service provider, the 1645 AMC serves as a small-footprint, SDH multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP) that can be installed on the customer premises, providing TDM and Ethernet services.
Fiber business applications The 1645 AMC offers a powerful and economical base for fiber-to-thebusiness (FTTB) applications. This compact MSPP aggregates traditional TDM and Ethernet services over SDH transport and can operate as customer premises equipment (CPE) or network-edge devices. It supports Ethernet from 10/100 to Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), TDM from E1 to E3, SDH and a rich set of STM-1/ 4-line and client interfaces.
Enhanced revenue generation, reduced expenses Flexible, multiservice business access The 1645 AMC enhances revenuegenerating capabilities by allowing service providers to offer services such as IP transport, Ethernet Layer 2 switching and TDM to customers with various traffic demands. It improves OPEX through efficient use of space in tight environments and low energy consumption. The 1645 AMC provides flexible multiservice access to business customers.
Cost-effective TDM, IP and Ethernet Create new revenue-generating opportunities by offering more services to SME customers. Transport metro and access services over existing SDH facilities, eliminating the need for overlay networks.
Extended Ethernet services When deploying the optional Alcatel-Lucent TransLAN® Card, the 1645 AMC supports a diverse mix of standar dized Ethernet services. Depending on the TransLAN Card selected, the 1645 AMC provides the following capabilities: • Full Layer 2 switching functionality: point-to-point and point-to-multipoint • Virtual concatenation (VCAT) and generic framing procedure (GFP) • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.
Versatile and robust management capabilities Either the Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Optical Management System (OMS) or a PC-based, Graphical User Interface (GUI) craft terminal can be used to manage the 1645 AMC. When the OMS is deployed, the 1645 AMC communicates through an embedded communications channel. The PC-based craft interface can be used for local and remote management and cost-effective 8 Alcatel-Lucent 1645 AMC Access Mutiplexer Compact centralized alarming.
Performance-management information from the overhead bytes is analyzed and stored in the database of the 1645 AMC. When equipped with a TransLAN® Card, the 1645 AMC can also store Ethernet-specific performance information. The 1645 AMC stores several different equipment configurations in its network management system. This feature facilitates quick turnaround for configuration changes.
The 1645 AMC can be equipped with the following high-speed optical Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) network interfaces: • SMT-4 S-4.1 (short haul) Adding an optional board offers support for other interfaces: • 16-port E1: 2 Mb/s • 16-port DS1: 1.5 Mb/s • STM-4 L-4.1 (long haul) • 3-port E2/DS3: 34 Mb/s to 45 Mb/s, provisional • STM-4 L-4.2 (long haul) • 6-port STM-1 supporting SFP • SMT-1/4 multirate bidirectional • 12 SHDSL: Ethernet over copper/E1 • STM-1 S-1.1 (short haul) • STM-1 L-1.
