Video broadcasting
Using the Digital Video Broadcasting-Asynchronous
Serial Interface (DVB-ASI) blade, the Alcatel-Lucent
OMSN products enable broadcasting companies to
transport DVB-compliant signals over the same unique,
reliable optical infrastructure. In the past, video transmission
across wide metropolitan areas required a costly overlay
network separate from voice and data networks due to
a lack of digital-video interface standards designed for
WAN transport. The deployment of the DVB-ASI, together
with the packet-adaptation capability offered by the frame
mapped generic frame procedure (GFP-F), allow packet-
based transmission of compressed video signals, including
DVB-S, DVB-H, DVB-T and DVB-C over the Alcatel-
Lucent OMSN product family (see Figure 4).
Storage area networks
Enterprises worldwide rely on complex information-
technology computer structures to store and maintain
their mission-critical data and applications. In this scenario,
storage area networks (SANs) are the telecom munications
industry’s solution for improving the availability, resiliency,
performance, modularity and geographical distribution
of storage systems, offering corporations superior capacity
and connectivity for their vital information systems.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1660 SM and Alcatel-Lucent 1662
SMC address SAN applications in metro environments.
Their wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) features,
together with the native interfacing capabilities of the 4 x
any modules for specific storage applications, including
ESCON, FICON and FC, make them a flexible solution
for interconnecting local networks to a centralized storage
network, reducing the data-management costs.
