Alcatel-Lucent 1626 Light Manager
R e l e a s e 6 . 1
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 Light Manager (LM) is a global 10G/40G multi-reach Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) platform for regional, long-haul terrestrial and unrepeatered submarine applications. As new multimedia services fuel huge bandwidth growth and time-to-service becomes key to business success, capacity, flexibility and ease of operations are driving the requirements for next-generation regional and backbone photonic networks. The combination of networking flexibility, operational efficiency, traffic scalability and optical
performance makes the Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM the ideal platform to support profitable transport network growth.
Zero Touch Photonics – flexible, automated, easy to operate
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM helps service providers lower the overall cost per transported bit in the core of the network by implementing AlcatelLucent Zero Touch Photonics techno logy. Its unique multi-degree Tunable and Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (T&ROADM) architecture supports photonic switching, enabling fast and easy turnup or reconfigu ration of wavelength services from end to end. This functionality ensures operations access to any wavelength anywhere in the network, regardless of the traffic forecast, and provides full network traffic reconfiguration without on-site intervention.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM delivers any mix of 10G and 40G wavelength services on any given fiber in the
network. In addition, next-generation polarization division multiplexing binary phase-shift keying (PDM-BPSK)
coherent modulation allows for 40G wavelengths at the largest optical reach and with full compatibility with neighbor 10G optical channels. This capability enables service providers to profitably grow their capacity by leveraging their existing 10G assets without compromise, both in terms of backward compatibility and future scalability.
Sophisticated design tools and self-tuning features simplify, optimize and accelerate planning for new networks or upgrades. These tools fully automate network installation, provisioning and commissioning, while unparalleled optical perfor mance is guaranteed for the most stringent long reach applications. The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM also supports Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) to further enhance network flexibility and improve resiliency with photonic restoration.
