Alcatel-Lucent
OMSN Product Family
Optical Multi-Service Node
Multiservice aggregation for
SDH metro networks
The Alcatel-Lucent 1660 Synchronous Multiplexer (SM), the Alcatel-Lucent 1662 Synchronous Multiplexer Compact (SMC) and the Alcatel-Lucent 1650 SMC form a family of leading multiservice provisioning platforms (MSPPs) for building next-generation, multiservice SDH metro and regional transport networks. This Alcatel-Lucent Optical Multi-Service Node (OMSN) product family integrates best-in-class transport functions, SDH cross-connect and CWDM add/drop functionality, together with carrier-class, Layer 2 packet/cell switching functions, including Ethernet, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and ATM. Sharing common modules and features, the Alcatel-Lucent OMSN products ensure deployment flexibility and feature support.

Metro broadband aggregation
Today’s carriers and service providers require optical solutions for metro and regional networks that are capable of providing the capacity, reliability, flexibility and scalability to efficiently address the new communication paradigm. Together with traditional TDM-based functions and carrier-transport technologies that support vast revenue streams, new packet-based services for broadband applications are expanding at an unprecedented pace and need to be cost effectively delivered over an efficient, broadband-aggregation infrastructure.
Single solution offering carrier transport and packet switching
The Alcatel-Lucent OMSN family integrates transport and packet-switching technologies, delivering metro networking solutions that support new broadband service delivery. With these capabilities, the Alcatel-Lucent OMSN products address metro and regional applications and offer a multiservice transport platform (MSTP) to support revenues from multiple broadband services, including:
•Triple play
•Private line and Ethernet virtual private LAN service
(VPLS) business services such as:
¬Mobile backhaul aggregation
¬Transport and lambda services
Features
•Cost-effective management and transport of packet-based data applications within the existing optical infrastructure
•Enhanced connectivity in all network topologies: ring, star and mesh
•Purpose-built, highly robust carrier-transport functions with reliability features
•Fast end-to-end service provisioning, monitoring and troubleshooting
•Support for high-speed services, rangingfrom2Mb/sandEthernet up to GE and 10 Gb/s
•Progressive integration of
Internet, voice and video services in a unified and homogeneous environment
•Per-flow management of service quality and performance to support the most stringent SLA requirements

Carrier transport
The Alcatel-Lucent OMSN products are based on a solid, yet flexible, SDH transport architecture, offering service providers several benefits:
•Offers purpose-built, highly robust carrier-transport functions with reliability features for maximum service availability, supporting zero-latency services from access to backbone in any mixture
•Delivers unmatched manageability for fast end-to-end service provisioning, monitoring and troubleshooting
•Enhances connectivity in all network topologies: ring, star and mesh
•Supports high-speed services ranging from 2 Mb/s and Ethernet up to Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10 Gb/s
The Alcatel-Lucent 1660 SM scales to Synchronous Transport Module (STM)-64 support for the metro/ regional core, while the Alcatel-Lucent 1662 SMC and the Alcatel-Lucent 1650 SMC scale to STM-16 and STM-4, respectively, for efficient network core/edge
design. The Alcatel-Lucent 1660 SM and Alcatel-Lucent 1662SMCintegrateCWDMfeaturestoextendtheirtransport capacity by offering telecommunications service providers:
•Bandwidth multiplication for metro and regional applications
•Evolution from single-lambda to multiple-lambda services within the same node
•An ideal, cost-effective CWDM solution for optical metropolitan infrastructures
