Cost-effective TDM,
IP and Ethernet
Create new revenue-generating op-
portunities by offering more services 
to SME customers. Transport metro 
and access services over existing SDH 
facilities, eliminating the need for 
overlay networks.
The 1645 AMC offers Ethernet 
and IP applications, including: 
•	Economical	voice	and	data	CPE
•	Ethernet	services	for	business	
customers: 
¬ Point-to-point Ethernet 
private line (EPL)
¬ Point-to-multipoint Ethernet
virtual private line (EVPL)
¬ E-LAN
• Multipoint-to-multipoint virtual
line/LAN services (packet ring) 
with bandwidth sharing and 
statistical multiplexing
• Ethernet over copper using
symmetric high-speed digital 
subscriber line (SHDSL)
• Second-Generation Mobile
Network/Third-Generation 
Mobile Network (2G/3G) 
mobile aggregation
The 1645 AMC supports cost-
efficient and reliable transport of 
TDM and Ethernet services in the 
metro access. Figure 1 shows the 
1645 AMC and the Alcatel-Lucent 
1643 Access Multiplexer Small (AMS) 
platforms working together to support 
a typical metro-access application, 
with the 1645 AMC providing STM-4 
transport and the 1643 AMS 
supporting STM-1 transport for 
multiservice traffic.
