Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS (PSS-32 and PSS-16)
P H OT O N I C S E R V I C E S W I T C H | R EL E A S E 3 . 0
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
• Wavelength Tracker™ monitors and
traces each wavelength at any point
in the network
• Static, tunable/reconfigurable optical
add/drop multiplexer (T/ROADM)
with single wavelength add/drop
granularity
• Colorless add/drop capabilities
• Up to 88 wavelengths and 50 GHz
ITU WDM per fiber pair
• Support for the full range of network
topologies, including ring, point-topoint and arbitrary optical mesh
topologies

• 40 Gb/s muxponder (4 x 10 Gb/s signals
aggregator into native 40 Gb/s transmission) supporting 10 GigE, OC-192,
STM- 64 or G.709 OTU2 signal types
1830 Pss-16 phy sical arr angem ent
• 100 Gb/s channel capacity with best
in class Pulse-density Modulation
Quadrature Phase-shift Keying
(PDM-QPSK) coherent tech nology
in the market to capture upcoming
traffic needs, supporting high port
capacity and with no inter ference
with existing 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s
• Dual mechanical arrangements
PSS-32 and PSS-16
• Supports C-band and L-band
transmission
• Supports ITU-T G.655 fibers and
G.652 fibers
• Supports optional Raman amplification for extended span application
Key benefits
• T/ROADM technology allows operators
to provision and reconfigure wavelengths remotely while adding ”anywavelength-to-anywhere” flexibility
to their network infrastructure
• T/ROADM, optical path tracing and
power monitoring reduces the overall
complexity and cost of network
wavelength management similar to
managing SONET/SDH traffic, making
it easier to engineer, implement and
maintain networks
• Cost-effective gain equalization of
individual wavelengths and Forward
Error Correction (FEC) technology
improve system performance,
eliminating the need for costly
regeneration in metro applications
