The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch TSS-5C is a compact Packet-Optical Transport switch and Ethernet access demarcation device, ideally suited for mobile backhaul and business Ethernet services. Highavailability, mission-critical Ethernet and E1/DS1/STM-1 services are supported by a comprehensive set of Packet Transport Network (PTN) and Carrier Ethernet features. The 1850 TSS-5C extends T-MPLS capability — upgradeable to MPLS-TP in a future release — to the network edge for access/aggregation and is compliant to Metro Ethernet Forum standards.
Resiliency and reliability for packet and TDM traffic are assured by multiple network path and link protection mechanisms, supported by hardwarebased data plane OAM. End-to-end OAM greatly simplifies the task of meeting strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Furthermore, the challenge of delivering timing to 2G/3G/4G base stations is met by the availability of multiple synchronization options.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5C is equally well-equipped to be deployed as a network termination unit for demarcation, media conversion, and distance extension applications as part of a Carrier Ethernet service offering. This is supported by an extensive set of management, QoS, bridging, VLAN and security features. As a highly versatile, resilient, yet cost-effective platform, the 1850 TSS-5C provides the lowest cost per bit networking in the industry.
An integral part of the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS portfolio, the 1850 TSS-5C operates in the access/aggregation layer. It feeds into higher capacity products such as the 1850 TSS-100, 1850 TSS-160 and 1850 TSS-320, extending T-MPLS support to the network edge. It is fully managed
by the Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Optical Management System.
Designed for outside plant deploy ment, the 1850 TSS-5C is an excellent choice for aggregating TDM/packet mobile backhaul traffic at 2G/3G/4G cell sites. This converged transport platform provides a growth path for exponentially increasing IP traffic, while fully supporting TDM traffic with circuit emulation/psuedowire. Its compact 1RU chassis fits in any wiring closet — essential when deployed as a network termination unit for business Carrier Ethernet services.
