Alcatel-Lucent
1353 Litespan Management
System (LMS)
Simplifying the Management
of the Access Network
The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System (LMS) is the management component of the Litespan family, which offers costeffective voice, data, high-speed Internet access (HSIA) and video services for your residential
and business subscribers. The integrated, centrally-operated Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS manages the Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan multiservice network.
With the Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan and the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS, you can offer any mix of revenue-generating services. This multivendor-compatible solution supports multiple network topologies and transport options, ensuring a smooth transition from traditional voice to next-generation networking (NGN/IMS). Moreover, the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS and Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan are integrated and tested with other products in the AlcatelLucent portfolio to offer complete end-to-end NGN solutions.

Managing the access network
Access is the cornerstone of a telecom network. All end-user services merge in the access nodes. The types of services your end users want continue to expand as technology evolves at an unprecedented pace. As a result, your access network must be able to accept many different services, topologies, technologies and transport options. Faced with such challenges, being able to manage the access network efficiently and effectively is a vital requirement. Among other things, you need reliable management solutions — solutions that will automate network operation, administration and maintenance. What’s more, these solutions must be cost-efficient, optimize operating expenses (OPEX), provide quality
of service (QoS), as well as achieve stringent time-to-market objectives.
The Litespan family
The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System (LMS) is part of the Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan family. Each Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan includes not only the multiservice gateway platform, but also
an integrated management system — the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS. This system manages narrowband and broadband services, transport links, as well as subscribers for the AlcatelLucent 1540 Litespan Multiservice Access Gateway.
The flexible, multiservice AlcatelLucent 1540 Litespan solution provides basic narrowband voice and data services (using plain old telephone system [POTS], integrated
services digital network [ISDN] basic access/ primary rate access, voice over IP [VoIP] and digital leased lines), as well as broadband services. Services include asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) and symmetrical high bit rate DSL (SHDSL), giving users high-speed Internet surfing and multimedia downloading (see Figure 1). For all of these services, the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS provides operation and maintenance functions.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System (LMS)
Today’s competitive environment With the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS, you can take advantage of a user-friendly and familiar graphical user interface (GUI) to present information related to operations, service configuration, performance, alarms and security (see Figure 2).
Like the management system for the Alcatel-Lucent Optinex family and the Alcatel-Lucent Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) family, the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS is based on the Alcatel-Lucent Management Platform (ALMAP). This compatibility lets you easily integrate the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS with other Alcatel-Lucent management systems. That’s important,
because integrated network management optimizes your capital investment, reusing existing hardware to minimize equipment costs, while lowering operation and maintenance activities and training costs.
Furthermore, in networks with Alcatel-Lucent switching or transport equipment, management applications can be easily integrated. For example, alarms for all network elements appear in a single window for ease of monitoring and use. With the goal, moreover, of providing you with a
complete solution, both the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS and Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan are integrated and tested with other Alcatel-Lucent products.
