Cost-effective
next-generation services
The E1 ports offer an Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN)
mode, meeting to G.704 and I.431
specifications, and they support
retiming mode and frame-slip
control. The system offers flexible
and adaptive bandwidth allocation
by transporting LAN traffic in
VCAT VC-12s or VC-3s.
The 1643 AMS adds Ethernet,
Fast Ethernet (FE) and Gigabit
Ethernet (GigE) transport service
to the existing SDH infrastructure.
A more cost-effective alternative
to separate networks, it converges
voice and data traffic, eliminating
the need for overlay networks and
increasing the network’s revenue-
generating opportunities.
This compact STM-1 multiservice
CPE provides cost-effective next-
generation services to SME custo-
mers and offers a variety of aggregate
interfaces suitable for short-range
or long-range transmission. Its
standards-based approach ensures
rock-solid performance in enterprise
applications where reliability is crucial
for business-critical communications.
The 1643 AMS delivers cross-feature
availability and circuit-pack compat-
ibility with other Alcatel-Lucent
optical products, a very high mean
time between failures (MTBF) rate
and a very low failure rate. Using a
TransLAN
Card to leverage existing
SDH investments, this multiservice
CPE is used for enterprise network
applications with high performance
and reliability requirements. It also
offers a flexible choice of optical and
tributary interfaces.
