Lucent Technologies, leader in
optical networking, offers the
industry's widest range of
high-quality communications
systems. Intelligent
multiplexers, flexible high-
capacity transport systems and
associated management systems
form the building blocks of
today's networks. Using these
building blocks, customers are
provided with equipment to
meet their requirements for
services, capacity and quality.
The WaveStar ADM 16/1, is
a member of the WaveStar
family of Lucent Technologies
optical networking products.
I
NTRODUCTION
T
he WaveStar ADM 16/1 is a
high-capacity intelligent
multiplexer and transport system
able to multiplex PDH, SDH,
SONET and EtherNet bit rates to
higher levels up to 2.5 Gbps
(STM-16). Because of this wide
range in capacity, this system is a
key element in building efficient
and flexible networks.
The main strengths of the product
are:
· Massive add/drop capacity
directly from the
STM-16 level e.g. 504 x E1,
96 x DS-3,
64 x 10/100 BASE-T, 32 x
STM-1 etc.
· Compact design (single row).
· Easy installation &
maintenance.
· Flexibility in applications.
· Advanced protection
mechanisms allowing
state-of-the-art SDH network
design.
These outstanding features make
the WaveStar ADM 16/1 one of
the most cost-effective future-
proof network elements. The
system can be deployed with
other Lucent Technologies optical
networking products, making the
WaveStar ADM 16/1 one of the
main building blocks of future
SDH networks.
The WaveStar ADM 16/1 is
controlled and managed by
Lucent Technologies Integrated
Transport Management (ITM), a
user-friendly network and
element level management
system with in-service upgrade
facilities.
