Lucent 2000 Product Family 1
Lucent Technologies is focused on a carefully planned and growing product family
designed to provide total network solutions. The 2000 Product Family complies
with the synchronous optical network (SONET) standard and builds on features
and capabilities that customers have found to be useful and successful in
networks, such as single-ended maintenance features and product upgrade
capabilities. These upgrade capabilities allow a graceful evolution from today's
asynchronous networks to the world-class intelligent networks of the future. The
2000 Product Family provides the significant elements of the Lucent Service Net-
2000 Architecture.
Lucent's Service Net-2000 Architecture starts with the network as it exists today
and provides real-world solutions to build upon your existing base. It also allows a
graceful evolution from rigid wire centers to a network of flexible nodes. This
network distributes intelligence to where it functions best.
The Service Net-2000 Architecture offers access bandwidth, service on demand,
and self-healing network applications. Access bandwidth offers increased
capacity, giving end-users the ability to access any desired service. This
increased access bandwidth, provided over fiber, offers superior network reliability
while opening up new revenue opportunities.
Service on demand offers high-capacity services implemented in short intervals.
This application gives local exchange carriers the opportunity to generate new
revenue faster by provisioning new services at a competitive "fast start" pace. At
the same time, they help maintain the existing revenue base by increasing
