A scalable multiservice platform to meet
your future network growth
The Metropolis ® ADM MultiService Mux is a next-
generation optical multiservice platform that supports
both traditional PDH/SDH services and next-generation
data services over SDH. Designed to cost-effectively
and reliably address a variety of applications and
market needs, it supports the following configurations:
• Add/Drop Multiplexer
• Local Cross Connect
• Terminal Multiplexer
• STM-4/16/64 Multi-Ring Hub
• Ethernet aggregation and transport
The Metropolis ® ADM offers a feature-rich, standards
compliant, highly reliable and scalable platform. It
leverages Lucent’s expertise in optical networking and
deep understanding of SDH networks accumulated
through the well established WaveStar
® ADM 16/1
platform. Rapid deployment is now possible with its
easy to install and provision design, which means fast
CAPEX recovery. Offered in either a Universal or
Compact shelf, it fits in both metro core and metro
access network layers with optimized STM-4, STM-16,
and STM-64 line speed configurations.
Increases revenue potential through
data/TDM service integration
The Metropolis ® ADM offers a versatile grow-as-you-go
platform that supports a wide variety of services. With
its fully non-blocking architecture, Metropolis ADM
commands an unrivaled system capacity capable of
terminating multiple rings in STM-64, STM-16, and
STM-4 network applications. In addition, its leading
PDH/SDH features support traditional revenue-
generating services, while employing the Lucent
Technologies TransLAN
® Cards enable effective
penetration into new Ethernet services market. The
diverse portfolio of services include:
• PDH leased line access (DS1, E1, E3, DS3)
• SDH leased line access (STM-1o/e up to STM-64)
• Ethernet services:
– Supports E/FE/GbE Ethernet data rates
– Transparent transport of Ethernet traffic over SDH
network
– Supports Ethernet Private Line (EPL), Ethernet
Virtual Private Line (EVPL), Ethernet Private LAN
(EPLAN), and Ethernet Virtual Private Line
(EVPLAN) services
– Supports Ethernet PM and RTM (Round Trip delay
Measurement) services
Key user applications include:
• Voice and broadband business data aggregation and
transport
• Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-T, 100BASE-LX10) and
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) LAN interconnect and VPN
• ISP router interconnects
• IPTV support with IGMP Snooping
Typical network applications include:
• Central office – grooms and hands off traffic to TDM
and ATM switches and DWDM. Ethernet data can be
cost-effectively handed off to core routers via GbE
trunking support.
• Hub office – interconnects and terminates high-speed
rings and grooms traffic for efficient bandwidth usage.
• Access feeder – closes and grooms multiple STM-
1/4/16 access rings and cost effectively trunks
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and GbE traffic.
• Office parks – offers scalable and cost-effective access
services, such as voice and data interconnection and
VoIP transport.
The Metropolis ® ADM supports in-service upgrades
from 2.5G to 10G which helps reduce initial
investment and provides a highly scalable growth path
that eliminates the need for forklift upgrades, allowing
enhancements to the platform as demand dictates.
Helps achieve operational savings
The Metropolis ® ADM is managed under one
common, well integrated management system as part
of Lucent Technologies global transport solution. This
helps to reduce staff training, improve deployment
efficiency, and simplify maintenance procedures.
The Metropolis ® ADM (Compact and Universal shelf)
combines the strengths of Ethernet and SDH into a
flexible, high-density network element designed with
full front accessibility.
