Page 3: Customer Requirements
Customer Requirements Today’s competitive environment places taxing demands on service providers, forcing them to drive down costs and reduce the complexity of their networks and operations. Bandwidth- intensive services such as triple play, video, 3G mobile, SAN extension and enterprise GigE, are already placing greater demands on these networks. - Page 4 Alcatel-Lucent 1692 Metrospan Edge A Cost-optimized System The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE is a cost-optimized coarse WDM (CWDM) transport system designed to meet the requirements of enterprise and metro access networks. This means that the service provider or enterprise can start with (and pay for) only the number of channels and asso ciated equip ment identified by short-term forecasts.

Page 5: Benefits And Features
Benefits and Features Key Features The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE: • Optimizes the transport of a bundle of signals, groomed according to a synchronous- compliant frame structure, using dedicated TDM transponders • Supports rapid roll-outs of new services • Transparently transports multiple protocols (SONET/SDH, SAN, IP, video) on a single wavelength •... - Page 6 Technical Superiority The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE sup - ports up to 16 wavelengths sustain ing variable-rate and fixed-rate optical interfaces, capable of accepting a broad range of data rates. Dedicated TDM concentrators (4xAny card and 2xGE-FC card) are available to opti - mize transportation of a bundle of signals, groomed accordingly to a syn - chronous frame structure.
- Page 7 Ultimate Scalability and Versatility Fully scalable from two wavelengths up to 16, the Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE allows service providers to purchase only the capacity required and then to increase capacity only as consumer demand increases. That is, as requirements change over time, the system’s manageability and func - tionality can be adapted in incre - mental steps.
- Page 8 Alcatel-Lucent 1692 Metrospan Edge Multiple Topologies and Configurations The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE sup - ports point-to-point links and ring networks with coarse optical add/drop multiplexer (COADM) technology. The terminal can support up to 16 wavelengths of unidi rectional transmission or 4 wave lengths of one fiber bidirectional transmission.
- Page 9 Simplified Provisioning, Guaranteed Reliability The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE provides a single, cost-optimized, managed solution that supports different services, network topologies and traffic matrices, and is trans - parent to protocols. It supports a mix of services with multi-rate tributaries and pluggable optical interfaces, on both the client and WDM sides.
- Page 10 Summary The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE is a cost-effective CWDM system intend ed for the metropolitan access and enterprise markets to help providers deliv er popular high-revenue, bandwidth-intensive services, such as triple play, video, 3G mobile, SAN extension and enterprise GigE. The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE is able to multiplex up to 16 channels com patible with ITU G.694.2 CWDM grid in a single network element (NE).
