The increasing demand for bandwidth to deliver new services is not reflected in comparable increases in revenue, presenting a significant business challenge. The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-100 helps operators maximize their profitability by transporting any service mix while keeping tight control on costs.

Multitechnology support with the 1850 Tss-100 The 1850 TSS-100 is a multiservice transport platform that supports any mix of traffic, from all-circuit to all-packet. Its unique, technology- independent universal matrix switches packets or circuits in their native for- mat and transports them as they are, optimizing overall network efficiency and applicability.

Instead of investing in several network layers to provide the required service mix, operators can now choose one platform that delivers all services. By deploying the 1850 TSS-100 as a unified transport platform supporting any mix of services, operators can: • Simplify network operations, significantly reducing...

Migrating to a packet transport network Leveraging its universal, open architecture, the 1850 TSS-100 allows operators to migrate their transport networks from all-circuit to all-packet. It integrates a full set of SONET features to support traditional transport-network architec- tures and to interwork with a large, existing installed base of equipment.

Combining circuit and packet interfaces and using Ethernet- based traffic management, the 1850 TSS-100 supports multiple Quality of Service (QoS) levels to provide a migration path toward the delivery of advanced packet- based services. It also ensures a smooth network evolution by enabling hybrid networks with totally flexible resource allocation between circuit and packet data services while fulfilling the roles of traditional MSPP/MSTP platforms.

Ethernet network or a multiservice network, the multicast can be done efficiently at either the TDM or Ethernet level. The 1850 TSS-100 can use a combina- tion of distributed Layer 2 and TDM Switching, depend- ing on the option that suits the provider’s requirements and minimizes costs (see Figure 2).

SLAs and customer separation. Operators can build either dedicated Ethernet networks or multiservice networks able to provide other services through the same networking platform. The 1850 TSS-100 supports both of these models. Wireless network traffic is increasing significantly with...
Alcatel- Lucent offers two management platforms for operators, depending on their network requirements and planned evolution: the Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Open Media Suite (OMS) and the Alcatel-Lucent 1340 Integrated Network Controller (INC).
