New services, such as triple play and
business Ethernet, are placing great
demands on the existing transport
infrastructure. To be profitable,
service providers must reduce OPEX
while meeting business demands
by offering a host of new revenue-
generating Internet and Ethernet
services while supporting existing
TDM services. At the same time,
they must avoid the complexity
and expense of overlay networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1655 AMU
addresses the rapid growth in data
traffic and resulting demand for ad-
ditional network bandwidth, while
avoiding bottlenecks in the MAN.
Because of its versatility, the Alcatel-
Lucent 1655 AMU expands coverage
to both large and small customers.
