Open interfaces for
multivendor compatibility,
competitive pricing and
investment protection
The Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan
family is designed with standard in-
terfaces (V5 for TDM voice services,
SIP Megaco/H.248 for VoIP, and
ATM or Ethernet for xDSL traffic)
to ensure that it functions effectively
in open environments. This open
design lets you build competitive,
customized solutions compatible
with your existing investments and
customers’ needs.
Rapid deployment for faster
revenue generation
With the Alcatel-Lucent 1540
Litespan family, your deployment is
simplified because the indoor racks
and outdoor cabinet configurations
are delivered from the factory com-
pletely built and tested. You can
also provision the system from a
centralized management center or
a local craft terminal. Moreover,
the management system is consistent
with established systems, minimizing
the learning curve. In short, all of
these features significantly shorten
your time-to-revenue.
Lower CAPEX and OPEX and
increased revenues
Because the Alcatel-Lucent 1540
Litespan family provides so many
services on a single platform, it can
significantly affect your overall rev-
enues. Plus, its flexible design ensures
you can easily add new services as
user demand requires them.
Just as important, the Alcatel-Lucent
1540 Litespan significantly lowers your
capital expenditure (CAPEX) and
operating expenditure (OPEX) by:
• Starting fiber at the most economi-
cal point
• Using standard interfaces
• Interconnecting Ethernet, ATM,
public switched telephone network
(PSTN)/ISDN, leased lines, TDM,
etc., in a single node
• Supporting flexible topologies in
a single system
• Including open interfaces for mul-
tivendor interworking
• Providing integrated network
management
Future-ready and safe invest-
ment evolution to NGN
The Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan
is designed to be NGN ready, letting
you smoothly convert from a multi-
service access platform supporting
today’s TDM services to a full access
media gateway in NGNs. Through
the simple insertion of a VoIP gate
way card, you can transform the
node into an NGN access gateway
that supports VoIP services with
minimal future investment. You can
also choose which customers remain
connected to the legacy TDM back-
bone and which migrate to the new
NGN backbone.
Access networks created with Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan can be easily
upgraded to deliver triple play solutions.
