Alcatel-Lucent 1677 - Manual (Page 4)

YOUR BENEFIT
The Alcatel-Lucent 1677 SL offers SONET add/drop multiplexing, narrowband,
wideband and broadband cross-connect functionality, plus DWDM. It supports a broad
range of service interfaces and service features, such as virtual concatenation (VCAT),
Gigabit Ethernet broadcasting, section, line and path performance monitoring right
down to the DS1/DS3 level, and DS0 grooming. The Alcatel-Lucent 1677 SL offers a
class-leading 1536 x 1536 synchronous transport signal level 1 (STS-1) fabric as well
as second-to-none port density and switch density. The universal I/O is not constrained
by line or tributary restrictions, and fully redundant common control and switching
modules ensure quality of service (QoS) at the five nines standard or better.
Benefit Feature Function
Pay-as-you-grow Class-leading scalability Support for interfaces from DS1 to OC-192, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet,
allowing a wide range of applications from a single platform.
Reduced real estate Superior density 24 half-height universal interface cards; 2 chassis per 7-foot rack.
Example: 840 DS1 per rack. Multi-ring architecture.
