Interoffice transport

Overview

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX provides the features necessary for interoffice transport in a greater metropolitan area, including long-span optics, easy capacity upgrades, and add/drop interfaces to other CO equipment. A VT1.5/STS-1 OC-48 path switched ring is a very effective self-healing network configuration for large cross-section interoffice networks.

Description

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX is ideal for metropolitan interoffice transport applications due to its large capacity and mixture of voice, data, and Ethernet services. An OC-12/48/192 UPSR/BLSR ring provides fast and reliable transport of DS1, E1, DS3, EC-1, OC-3(c), OC-12(c), OC-48(c), and 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet services.

The figure below shows a sample interoffice transport configuration.
