Fiber business applications
The 1645 AMC offers a powerful 
and economical base for fiber-to-the-
business (FTTB) applications. This 
compact MSPP aggregates traditional 
TDM and Ethernet services over 
SDH transport and can operate as 
customer premises equipment (CPE) 
or network-edge devices. It supports 
Ethernet from 10/100 to Gigabit 
Ethernet (GigE), TDM from E1 to 
E3, SDH and a rich set of STM-1/ 
4-line and client interfaces. 
Providing highly effective solutions 
for enterprise network services, the 
1645 AMC supports flexible ring 
configurations. Services include 
Ethernet business services, LAN 
and Private Branch Exchange 
(PBX) interconnection over fiber, 
all services where solid performance 
and reliability are essential service 
attributes. It can also be used for 
interoffice applications in both 
access and mobile networks based 
on fiber or copper, facilitating 
Ethernet local area network 
(E-LAN) communication on 
campus and in virtual private 
networks (VPNs).
No overlay networks
Available in STM-4 configurations, 
the 1645 AMC provides a wide range 
of interfaces, including private-line 
and switched Ethernet capabilities. 
It is an economical, multiservice 
unit that transports metro and access 
traffic over existing SDH networks, 
eliminating the need for overlay 
networks for Ethernet services.
