2 Alcatel-Lucent 1671 Service 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 require ­ments, 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 aggrega ­tion. 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 capa ­bilities 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 aggre ­gation functionalities, while retaining
the discreet Copy 0/Copy 1 redun ­dancy that continues to be a signature
feature of the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC.

4 Alcatel-Lucent 1671 Service Connect

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.

Multi-Service Matrix

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.
