Increased deployment flexibility
With Alcatel-Lucent ISAM Voice,
you can also offer voice support
with the overlay of existing DSLAM
installations. Alternatively, you can
choose a pre-seeding strategy: first,
by installing Alcatel-Lucent ISAM
in order to deliver xDSL, while pre-
cabling the rack to introduce POTS
or ISDN boards at a later stage. To
support this strategy, the ISAM plat-
form provides a complete and dense
variety of DSL transmission technol-
ogies (ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2 plus,
VDSL2, S.HDSLbis). With a stan-
dardized concept for 24/48/72 port
assemblies, the wiring is independent
of the services provisioned on ISAM.
additional cost-cutting through
central office consolidation
With the Alcatel-Lucent ISAM family, you can also move
to more powerful broadband access equipment (with VDSL2)
capable of supporting higher bandwidth out of the central
office (CO). By designing the access network on remote
outdoor housings, you can liberate space from COs, emp-
tying them eventually of all electronics.
You can also reach remote locations with fiber to the
most economical point. This reduces the operational
cost of running the voice access network. Just as good,
you can reduce the size of COs, or even choose to sell
them because they are sometimes located in high-cost
business districts and downtown areas. With this welcome
inflow of money, you can then invest further in core activities.
Future-safe investment
With Alcatel-Lucent ISAM Voice, you can also be sure
that your initial investment retains its value in the future.
Today, for example, voice line cards are software upgrade-
able to support ETSI TISPAN’s latest SIP standards.
In addition, the density of these line cards is regularly
expanded, increasing the density of the voice terminations.
With the ISAM architecture, you can also facilitate the
smooth introduction of new features, such as access border
gateway functionality, reinforcing its flexibility and multi-
service capability.
