TransMUX functionality with LNW18/20

Overview

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX provides a cost-effective/ bandwidth preserving aggregation and transport vehicle for DS1 signals. Using the LNW18 (12 ports) or LNW20 (48 ports), Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX can combine multiple DS1 signals into a channelized DS3 for more efficient transport through/to the core network.

Description

In the figure below Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX is pictured collecting multiple DS1s around the UPSR and, in the node at the far right of the figure, transmitting them within a channelized DS3 signal back to the core network. This TransMUX capability is provided by the TransMUX circuit packs located in Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX at the far right of the picture.

Application advantage

TransMUX functionality enables Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX to:

• Groom DS1s for channelized DS3s

• Eliminate the need for separate M-13 MUXs at the DS1 aggregation site

• Pack DS3s with multiple DS1s to use bandwidth back to the network core most efficiently
