Multi-service aggregation

Overview

The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend offers an affordable, protected solution to multi-service aggregation in the local loop. With its compact design, OSP deployment capabilities, and support of a variety of TDM and Ethernet interfaces, Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend is well equipped to serve as a loop access aggregator for both traditional and next-generation metro services.

Description

Providing OC-3/12/48/192 high-speed optics and a mix of DS1, E1, DS3, EC-1, OC-3/12/48/192 low-speed optics, 10/100 Mbps, GbE, and SAN optics, the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend can be a collection point for a variety of interfaces providing service to everything from campus networks, enterprise locations and business parks to groupings of private residences and large MTUs.

The figure below shows the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend collecting the various services listed above from a variety of small and large establishments and sending them back to a Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend located at the metro core by way of OC-3/12/48/192 UPSRs and 1+1 protected linear optical extensions.

Application advantage

Using the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend in this application results in the following advantages:

• The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend's small footprint and unique design reduces cost, power consumption, and heat generation at end customer locations and OSP cabinet sites, while at the same time offering facility protection on all optical interfaces.

• Easily managed solution: if the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend is connected to the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX, Alcatel-Lucent 1675 LambdaUnite MSS, or WaveStar^® 2.5G/10G, a remotely located Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend can be managed from the central office using the WaveStar^® CIT.

• Reliable, SONET network and facility protection of both voice and data/SAN services

• Internet access, VLAN, and Transparent LAN services and applications.

• The ability to utilize Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend where service density/demand is moderate, yet traffic must be protected, allows you to match node size to demand and footprint requirements.
