Mobile Backhaul

Wireless network traffic is increasing significantly as subscribers use their mobile phones more and

new, wireless data services are introduced, such as video telephony, music, Internet surfing and live

television, along with video-on-demand (VoD), for example, information, football, movie trailers and

clips. Price-based competition makes profitable growth a challenge. Nevertheless, service providers are

forced to invest in new infrastructure to serve their customers' needs. Should they expand with TDM

technology for more capacity now and worry about strategically evolving to 3G and all-IP later, or can

they expand innovatively, making the network better now, but also anticipating future requirements?

The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320 addresses both options, providing a fully ﬂexible and reliable

transport platform, both Ethernet- and TDM-based, that meets today's growth requirements and

opens the door for a strategic move toward an IP-based infrastructure.

Network Management

The Alcatel 1350 Open Media Suite (OMS) management suite eliminates the need to deploy multi-

technology element and network management systems, reducing CAPEX and OPEX. It offers a highly

modular architecture to properly match service-provider requirements, offering incremental investments

that are in step with demand. Service providers need to focus on the service, rather than the technology,

where it is used, how the network scales and how complex it is. By migrating from a technology-based

network management model to a service-oriented one, the complexity of managing services is

greatly reduced.

Masking the complexity of the underlying network is the job of the Alcatel-Lucent

1350 OMS management suite, offering:

• Simplified presentation of a multitechnology network to the user:

¬ Point-and-click service delivery

¬ Essential filtered alarms and fault detection

¬ Simple, service-oriented graphical user interface (GUI)

• Future-safe, scalable platform that can be extended as the network

and its services grow from a few units to thousands of network elements

• Unified management access for service providers, independent of location, network

layer or technology: Single point-of-alarm collection, all network management

information available on a single platform and a single logon procedure
