Technology that can turn DSL
opportunities into bottom line profits

High-speed broadband access networks offer you a
lucrative source of revenue and profits. By leveraging IP
(Internet Protocol) transport and services, combined with
advanced ATM switching, you can deploy more high-profit
services for your business and residential customers as you
reduce your infrastructure costs.

The broadband opportunity

Experts predict the growth potential of converged access
networks to be huge, an excellent opportunity for
providers who have the infrastructure to take advantage of
it. For example, IP services are expected to be a $25 billion
opportunity for service providers by 2004

Similar trends are predicted for bandwidth-intensive video
services (broadcast TV, entertainment on demand, etc.),
with demand quadrupling each year through 2003 and
doubling through 2005

In addition, in spite of the economic downturn of 2001, a
number of subscriber trends look very positive. Broadband
subscribers should reach 165 million in 2005

Key Stinger FS+ features and benefits

Stinger FS+ sets a new standard for today’s networks. It
gives you all the functionality, versatility, provisioning,
troubleshooting and management capabilities of its
predecessor, the Stinger FS. But it goes even further.

Leveraging Lucent’s Service Intelligent™ Architecture, the
Stinger FS+ provides a complete, innovative solution that
combines advanced ATM and intelligent IP services all
within the chassis, or distributed as needed, to deliver a
number of exclusive capabilities today:

Cost-saving port density—While many companies claim
to offer the world’s highest density DSLAMs, only the
Stinger FS+ can honestly lay claim to that title. The new
platform increases the capacity of the Lucent DSL offer by
50%. By relying on 72-port modules, it supports 1,008
subscribers per chassis, up to 3,024 per rack, in both ANSI
and ETSI installations. This is over 500 more ports than its
nearest competitor, and 50% greater density than available
previously. The increased density also means you’ll have
lower capital and operating expenditures because it:

• Reduces power consumption per port by more than 30%
