Established network evolution

Overview

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX offers a capacity upgrade from an OC-3 or OC-12 network to an OC-12/48/192 network. Implementing an Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX ring at the edge of the network, in combination with pre-existing OC-3 and OC-12 rings, provides increased network capacity and flexibility with the opportunity to interwork with or replace current–Generation access multiplexers.

Description

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX can interwork with existing Alcatel-Lucent and other-vendor SONET network elements to support all of the applications and topologies described in this section. The figures below show the network evolving from an OC-3/OC-12 network to an OC-48/192 network. Figure 3-2, Established network shows the original network, while Figure 3-3, Established network evolution shows the network evolution when once Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX is deployed.

Application advantage

As greater capacity is needed, Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX provides customers a graceful upgrade path from smaller capacity OC-3/12 networks to OC-12/48/192 Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX networks capable of enhanced applications, topologies, and capacities. The features of the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX enable it to cost-effectively serve your needs now while protecting your networking future.
