1643 AMS Access
Multiplexer Small
Cost-effective STM-1
multiservice metro access
The Alcatel-Lucent 1643 Access Multiplexer Small
(AMS) is a compact multiservice provisioning
platform (MSPP) that allows service providers
to deliver new services to small and medium
enterprises (SME). Delivering cost-effective,
multiservice access, the 1643 AMS adds Ethernet to
traditional TDM and SDH networks, eliminating the
need for overlay equipment. Extending networks
to the customer premises, it is energy efficient and
compact, improving the use of space and reducing
operating expenditures (OPEX) while offering
enhanced revenue-generating potential.

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 SME demands by offering a
host of revenue-generating Internet
Protocol (IP) and Ethernet services.
At the same time, they must avoid
the complexity and expense of overlay networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1643 AMS,
a compact multiservice customer
premises equipment (CPE), economically transports TDM and Ethernet
services over SDH networks. This
system converges voice and data
traffic, eliminating the need for
overlay networks.
The 1643 AMS efficiently delivers
enterprise network services, such as
LAN and Private Branch Exchange
(PBX) interconnection over fiber,
all services where high performance
and reliability are essential attributes.
Used for interoffice applications in
both access and mobile networks, it
facilitates LAN-to-LAN communications on campus and virtual private
networks (VPNs). The 1643 AMS
has the flexibility to function in diverse
local-loop environments, supporting
various ring configurations for fiberto-the-business or -home (FTTB or
FTTH) applications.
