Enhanced revenue potential,
reduced expenses
The 1643 AMS system enhances
service-provider revenue-generating
opportunities by delivering services
such as IP transport, Ethernet Layer
2 VPN and TDM. It decreases OPEX
through efficient use of space in
tight environments and low power
consumption.
Extended Ethernet services
When deploying the optional
Alcatel-Lucent
TransLAN
®
Cards,
the 1643 AMS delivers a diverse
mix of standardized Ethernet
services. Depending on the
Trans-
LAN
Card selected, the 1643 AMS
provides numerous capabilities:
• Full Layer 2 switching functional
-
ity: point-to-point and point-to-
multipoint
• Virtual concatenation (VCAT) and
generic framing procedure (GFP)
• Link capacity adjustment scheme
(LCAS)
• International Electotechnical
Commission (IEEE) 802.1Q and
802.1ad virtual local area network
(VLAN) tagging
• VLAN trunking, saving physical
interfaces at hub locations
As shown in Figure 1, the 1643 AMS
supports cost-efficient and reliable
multiservice transport for metro
access. It can be deployed with other
SDH platforms, such as the Alcatel-
Lucent 1645 AMC, for aggregation
to higher speed networks.
