1671 Service Connect
Next Generation
Multiservice Cross-Connect
Forward-looking businesses require solutions that allow them to realize advanced capabilities today, while charting a clear migration strategy from traditional equipment to next generation functionality. They demand the features and upgradeability that will keep pace with traffic demands regardless of how they grow over time. With the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 Service Connect (SC), you can be assured that your network will be well equipped, not only for present day demands, but also for future requirements.

Flexible to Fit Many Needs
No two customers are the same. One may be looking for a wideband cross-connect or a device that can handle narrowband, wideband and broadband traffic, another may need hot-swappable interface cards, virtual concatenation, or best in class channel protection. Whatever your requirements, the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC can be provisioned for a wide variety of applications.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC is a next generation, multiservice crossconnect designed to support the growing demand for multiple services, including traditional SONET services
as well as Ethernet and data aggregation. Engineered for speeds from DS1 to OC-192 and Ethernet, the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC goes beyond traditional cross-connect functionality to provide extensive grooming capabilities that maximize the efficiency of transport networks. The new, innovative Multi-Service Matrix (MSM) provides unrivaled density (4,608 DS3 equivalents) and a robust feature set that includes narrowband, wideband, broadband and data aggregation functionalities, while retaining the discreet Copy 0/Copy 1 redundancy that continues to be a signature feature of the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC allows service providers to maximize their network infrastructure through the efficient grooming and filling of transport pipes. By eliminating partially filled pipes, service providers can maximize network bandwidth, streamline their operations, and more cost-effectively manage and maintain their networks. A broad range of customer interfaces enables the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC to function as a multiservice aggregation point, efficiently bringing data and voice traffic flows into the SONET optical network. Figure 1 illustrates the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC as the aggregation point in a multiservice network.

The new MSM introduces narrowband, wideband and broadband switching in a single network element. The Virtual Tributary (VT) capacity is increased to 4608 DS3 equivalents or 240 Gb/s (240G), as illustrated in Figure 2; startling when one realizes that this capacity is housed in only two bays.
