1655 AMU Access
Multiplexer Universal
Cost-effective, STM-1/4/16 multiservice metro access
The Alcatel-Lucent 1655 Access Multiplexer Universal (AMU) is a compact, high-density access multiplexer that cost effectively delivers high-value services for service providers and enterprises. Meeting multiservice needs with one platform, it supports both Ethernet and TDM over existing SDH networks, avoiding expensive overlay networks. Offered in two rack-mounted and two street-cabinet versions, its energy-efficient, compact design reduces operating expenditures (OPEX). The 1655 AMU allows you to expand revenue-generating capabilities with minimal investment by offering a flexible mix of circuit and data traffic.

Meeting enterprise demands
New services, such as triple play and business Ethernet, are placing great demands on the existing transport infrastructure. To be profitable, service providers must reduce OPEX while meeting business demands by offering a host of new revenuegenerating Internet and Ethernet services while supporting existing TDM services. At the same time, they must avoid the complexity and expense of overlay networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU addresses the rapid growth in data traffic and resulting demand for additional network bandwidth, while avoiding bottlenecks in the MAN. Because of its versatility, the AlcatelLucent 1655 AMU expands coverage to both large and small customers.

Reduced CAPEX by avoiding overlays
Converging voice and data traffic on a single platform supports multi service transport over existing
SDH networks. Leveraging existing investments in network assets avoids the cost and complexity of building overlay networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU combines traditional SDH, or circuit- based, and Ethernet, or packet-based, applications. Four shelf versions are offered, two rack-mounted versions for CO and CPE applications and two street-cabinet versions.
Scalable access for business customers
Developed specifically to serve business customers, the AlcatelLucent 1655 AMU suits several applications:
•Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) at customer premises equipment
(CPE)
•Local loop access: fiber to the business (FTTB)
•LAN and Private Branch Exchange (PBX) interconnection
•Interoffice applications
