Alcatel-Lucent Service Aggregation Router 7705 Brochure page 4

Built to Deliver
The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR delivers IP/MPLS and
pseudowire capabilities in a high-density, future-proof
architecture that will enable you to address evolving
aggregation requirements. It is architected to provide
superior service delivery through effective provisioning,
traffic management, troubleshooting and billing features.
The 7705 SAR platform delivers strong convergence
capabilities in the mobile RAN. With native service
processing of 2G, 3G and 4G traffic, it has the ability
to groom multiple media and transport protocols onto
a normalized, economical packet transport infrastructure.
Industry-leading scalability and density is provided in a
compact unit offering a flexible mixture of multiport T1/E1,
10/100 Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, along
with ATM/IMA, TDM and Ethernet pseudowires over
MPLS for legacy service support.
Table 1. Features and Benefits
FeaTure
A solution based on the 7705 SAR and 7750/7710 SR Ethernet-centric
platforms delivers industry-leading iP/MPLS and pseudowire capabilities
based on Ethernet interfaces. This allows cost-effective migration from
E1/T1-based backhaul to packet-based transport leveraging Ethernet services
over a wide range of first mile media.
The solution leverages advanced multilink point-to-point protocol (MLPPP),
inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA) and Ethernet uplinks. Also, modern
adaptive point-to-point microwave access is available via the Alcatel-Lucent
9500 Microwave Packet Radio, to extend your reach at attractive
cost points.
Powerful, service-aware OaM capabilities complemented by the 5620
management portfolio for GUI-based network and element configuration,
provisioning, fault and performance management are available. Alcatel-Lucent
brings a strong service/deployment organization that can greatly assist in
network design, rollout and even operations.
IP/MPLS networking and platform attributes are available to drive reliability
to 99.999 percent levels and beyond. Resiliency and redundancy features
include: one-for-one hitless control and switch card failover, synchronization
redundancy, network uplink resiliency and redundancy of power feeds.
The flexibility of the solution enables investment decisions to be made
according to longer term trends such as long term evolution (LTE),
IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), and fixed-mobile convergence (FMC),
and enables you to avoid stranding investment.
 Alcatel-Lucent 7705 Service Aggregation Router
On the network side, media connectivity options are: Fast
Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and n x T1/E1 (MLPPP). The
platform can be optionally configured with a redundant
core module and uplinks.
The 7705 SAR is ideally suited to these applications:
• Radio access network aggregation and backhaul
¬ Convergence at the cell site or hub (point
of concentration)
• T1/E1 private line services
¬ Modernized, normalized transport of legacy services
¬ Fixed-mobile convergence over a packet backbone
The 7705 SAR extends the intellectual property and
field-hardened service capabilities of the 7750/7710
Service Router platform.
BeneFiT
The 7705 SAR inherits and builds upon the same rigorously proven development base
as the 7750/7710 SR line of products. Alcatel-Lucent's in-service experience in high
quality Ethernet services and pseudowire deployments is unmatched in the industry.
Transition from PDH-based connectivity to Ethernet-based can reduce recurring
operational expenses (OPEX) such as leased line costs.
The 7705 SAR is part of an end-to-end managed and verified solution that includes
a wide range of first mile solutions. Technology sharing across platforms brings
pre-integrated, pre-qualified solutions, with simplified upgrade paths.
The Alcatel-Lucent services organization has deep experience in high profile IP
transformation projects. The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM)
management platform is recognized as industry-leading for its simple GUI and
powerful task integration. Rapid fault detection and powerful commissioning and
troubleshooting tools can improve productivity of operations staff and reduce
network downtime.
Advanced resiliency features lead to improved network uptime. This can
positively impact customer retention and allow critical services to be offered
for increased revenue.
The solution brings fully IP/MPLS networking capable platforms to the hub
and cell site. This allows great flexibility for supporting LTE networking and
also wireline business services on the same infrastructure. As a leading
mobility and IMS vendor, Alcatel-Lucent is uniquely positioned to assist in
long term planning.
