Meeting enterprise demands

To be profitable, service providers must reduce OPEX while meeting business customers’ demands by offering a host of revenue-generatingInternet 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. With versatile and robust management capabilities, it offers flexible installation options. Enterprises can use the 1645 AMC to build and operate their own optical networks, using leased or owned fiber.

The 1645 AMC provides flexible, multiservice access to business customers and extends Ethernet services to the metro and access edges. It also supports fiber and copper access for SDH, TDM and Ethernet traffic through both optical and electrical interfaces.

Fiber business applications

The 1645 AMC offers a powerful and economical base for fiber-to-the-business (FTTB) applications. This compact MSPP aggregates traditional TDM and Ethernet services over SDH transport and can operate as customer premises equipment (CPE) ornetwork-edgedevices. It supports Ethernet from 10/100 to Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), TDM from E1 to E3, SDH and a rich set ofSTM-1/4-lineand client interfaces.

Providing highly effective solutions for enterprise network services, the 1645 AMC supports flexible ring configurations. Services include Ethernet business services, LAN and Private Branch Exchange (PBX) interconnection over fiber, all services where solid performance and reliability are essential service attributes. It can also be used for interoffice applications in both access and mobile networks based on fiber or copper, facilitating Ethernet local area network (E-LAN)communication on campus and in virtual private networks (VPNs).

No overlay networks

Available in STM-4configurations, the 1645 AMC provides a wide range of interfaces, includingprivate-lineand switched Ethernet capabilities. It is an economical, multiservice unit that transports metro and access traffic over existing SDH networks, eliminating the need for overlay networks for Ethernet services.

Extended Ethernet services

When deploying the optional Alcatel-LucentTransLAN® Card, the 1645 AMC supports a diverse mix of standar­ dized Ethernet services. Depending on theTransLAN Card selected, the 1645 AMC provides the following capabilities:

•Full Layer 2 switching functionality: point-to-point andpoint-to-multipoint

•Virtual concatenation (VCAT) and generic framing procedure (GFP)

•Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE) 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) tagging and IEEE 802.1ad Provider Bridging, also called stacked VLANs

•VLAN trunking, saving physical interfaces at hub locations

Installation flexibility

With its compact design, the 1645 AMC is suitable for both street cabinet and CPE installation. It supports either AC or DC power supplies, further increasing deployment flexibility.

Versatile and robust management capabilities

Either the Alcatel-Lucent1350 Optical Management System (OMS) or aPC-based,Graphical User Interface (GUI) craft terminal can be used to manage the 1645 AMC. When the OMS is deployed, the 1645AMC communicates through an embedded communications channel. ThePC-basedcraft interface can be used for local and remote management andcost-effective

centralized alarming. The 1645 AMC can also be integrated into Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management systems.

The 1645 AMC derives fault-man-agement information by monitoring and analyzing information contained in the path overhead of each virtual container (VC). Alarm information is filtered and displayed locally while it is simultaneously transmitted to themanagement-centerdatabase.
