Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX
D ATA M U LT I P L E X E R | R E L E A S E 9
The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (DMX) integrates Ethernet, storage area network (SAN) and SONET functionality into a high-capacity, compact platform. This combination enables multiservice growth for service providers from traditional voice/private line services to a hybrid mix of voice/private line, data/packet and SAN transmission services. For deployment and operational simplicity, the 1665 DMX shares common software and many interfaces with its compact companion product, the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend. The AlcatelLucent 1665 DMX and 1665 DMXtend are key components of the comprehensive Alcatel-Lucent optical portfolio, providing end-to-end optical solutions for today’s metro and long-haul networks.
