The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management

System (LMS) is the management component of

the Litespan family, which offers cost-effective voice,

data, high-speed Internet access (HSIA) and video

services for your residential and business subscribers.

The integrated, centrally-operated Alcatel-Lucent

1353 LMS manages the Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan

multiservice network.

With the Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan and the

Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS, you can offer any mix

of revenue-generating services. This multivendor-

compatible solution supports multiple network

topologies and transport options, ensuring a smooth

transition from traditional voice to next-generation

networking (NGN). Moreover, the Alcatel-Lucent

1353 LMS and Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan are

integrated and tested with other products in the

Alcatel-Lucent portfolio to offer complete end-to-end

NGN solutions.

Access is the cornerstone of a tele ­com network. All end-user services
merge in the access nodes. The types
of services your end users want
continue to expand as technology
evolves at an unprecedented pace.
As a result, your access network
must be able to accept many differ ­ent services, topologies, technologies
and transport options. Faced with
such challenges, being able to man­age the access network efficiently
and effectively is a vital requirement.
Among other things, you need
reliable management solutions —
solutions that will automate net ­work operation, administration
and maintenance. What’s more,
these solutions must be cost-efficient,
optimize operating expenses
(OPEX), provide quality of service
(QoS),
as well as achieve stringent time­to-market objectives.

The Litespan Family

The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System (LMS) is
part of the Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan family. Each Alcatel-Lucent
1540 Litespan includes not only the multiservice gateway platform, but
also an integrated management system — the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS.
This system manages narrowband and broadband services, transport links,
as well as subscribers for the Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan Multiservice
Access Gateway.

The flexible, multiservice Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan solution provides
basic narrowband voice and data services (using plain old telephone
system [POTS], integrated services digital network [ISDN] basic access/
primary rate access, voice over IP [VoIP] and digital leased lines), as well
as broad band services. Services include asymmetrical digital subscriber line
(ADSL) and symmetrical high bit rate DSL (SHDSL), giving users high­speed Internet surfing and multimedia downloading (see Figure 1). For all
of these services, the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS provides operation and
maintenance functions.

4 Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS

With the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS,
you can take advantage of a user­friendly and familiar graphical user
interface (GUI) to present informa ­tion related to operations, service
configuration, performance, alarms
and security (see Figure 2).

Like the management system for
the Alcatel-Lucent Optinex family
and the Alcatel-Lucent Intelligent
Services Access Manager (ISAM)
family, the Alcatel-Lucent 1353

LMS is based on the Alcatel­Lucent Management Platform
(ALMAP). This compatibility lets
you easily integrate the Alcatel­Lucent 1353 LMS with other
Alcatel-Lucent management
systems. That’s important, because
integrated network management
optimizes your capital investment,
reusing existing hardware to mini ­mize equipment costs, while lower ­ing operation and maintenance
activities and training costs.

Furthermore, in networks with
Alcatel-Lucent switching or trans ­port equipment, management
applications can be easily integrated.
For example, alarms for all network
elements appear in a single window
for ease of monitoring and use.
With the goal, moreover, of provid­ing you with a complete solution,
both the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS
and Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan
are integrated and tested with
other Alcatel-Lucent products.
