The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) represents a new breed of photonic switch for
next-generation metro and long haul wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Implementing Zero Touch
Photonics, the 1830 PSS transforms traditional WDM into a fully flexible transport layer with complete
optical layer visibility at the individual wavelength level, simplifying service delivery while reducing time-torevenue generation and facilitating bandwidth expansion in metro networks for new broadband services.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS is a multireach platform covering from long haul
to regional and metro applications and
supporting a wide range of data rates
enabling service deliver y in a variety
of environments and applications:
• Broadband transport networks for
telecommunications operators and
enterprises operating as telcos to
provide high bandwidth connectivity
over long distances
• Metropolitan or national research
networks for sharing IP and fiber
channel (FC) connectivity and enable
grid computing applications
• Campus networks for data center
protection or data sharing for public
and private organizations such as
universities, hospitals, banks and
airports
• Multi-campus networks for longdistance cooperation among public
and private companies and optimize
leased dark fiber
Key features
• High density multiplexer/demultiplexer (MUX /DEMUX) per network
element (NE)/degree
