DSLAM access

Overview

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX provides a cost-effective aggregation and transport vehicle for digital subscriber line (DSL) or remote digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) gateways.

Description

In the figure below Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX is located at a central office where it collects DS3 and/or OC-3/OC-12/GbE signals from multiple DSLAMs, multiplexes them to the OC-48/192 line rate, and sends them out on the OC-48/192 ring for back-haul to centrally located ATM switches that can be used more cost-effectively than distributed ATM switches.
