Transport Service Switch
Summary of the content on the page No. 2
The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS)-100, a new class of multiservice transport platform for metro-core and regional applications, supports any mix of traffic, from all-circuit to all- packet. This universal switch uniquely addresses the transition from TDM/circuit to packet transport, eliminating the problems encountered when tra- ditional platforms face data-traffic increases. The functional versatility of the 1850 TSS-100 allows operators to support current network d

Transforming transport networks To stay profitable, operators must focus on new revenue-generating services while carefully controlling their cost structures. At the same time, new band- width-hungry services, such as triple play and Ethernet virtual private networks (VPNs), are redefining the underlying transport-infrastructure requirements. These changes are driving the move from circuit-based transport, using TDM, to packet-based transport, using Ethernet in MANs and WANs. Driven by end-

The universal switch The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-100 offers operators a The concept of a single transport-aggregation platform powerful tool for operating future-safe transport networks, is a breakthrough in operator networking. Instead of with total freedom in planning network resources to support investing in several network layers to provide the required the delivery of new broadband applications such as triple service mix, operators can now choose one platform play, video, mobile a

Migrating to a packet transport network Leveraging its universal, open architecture, the 1850 TSS-100 allows operators to migrate their transport networks from all-circuit to all-packet. It integrates a full set of SONET features to support traditional transport-network architec- tures and to interwork with a large, existing installed base of equipment. In addition, the platform supports transport packet switching, such as packet Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning

Supporting business services Enterprises are increasing their use of high-bandwidth applications and they are more frequently interconnecting LANs and data centers within a metro area. To address this market, operators need scalable, carrier-class solutions that offer operators guaranteed QoS levels, support for differentiated SLAs and customer separation. Operators can build either dedicated Ethernet networks or multiservice networks able to provide other services through the same ne

Network management Operators need to focus on the service, rather than the technology, where it is used, how the network scales and how complex it is. By migrating from a technology-based network management model to a service-oriented one, the complexity of managing services is greatly reduced. Alcatel- Lucent offers two management platforms for operators, depending on their network requirements and planned evolution: the Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Open Media Suite (OMS) and the Alcatel-Lucent 1 3
