10 Alcatel-Lucent 1671 Service Connect
Intelligent Network Adaptability
Next generation networks feature
intelligent network elements capable
of communicating on a common
plane for the purposes of optimizing
and routing traffic. This creates an
ideal scenario for service providers
who wish to maximize network
efficiency.
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label
Switching (GMPLS) is the protocol
that enables this enhanced level of
communication. The Alcatel-Lucent
1671 SC is a GMPLS-ready platform,
preparing service providers for the
intelligent networks that lie ahead
without compromising their current
revenue-generating services. As a
multiservice cross-connect, the
Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC can func -
tion in a traditional or intelligent
(GMPLS) network.
A Safe Landing for
Wireless Traffic
The role the Alcatel-Lucent 1671
SC can play in a wireless service
provider’s network illustrates many
of the cross-connect’s benefits. As
more and more data traffic flows to
and from cell phones, the Alcatel-
Lucent 1671 SC cost effectively
expands wireless market presence,
providing next generation services to
the end customer. As illustrated in
Figure 6, the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC
multiservice cross-connect can be
networked with other Alcatel-Lucent
devices to meet wireless service
providers’ needs. Alcatel-Lucent
will be happy to provide a solution
for your requirements.
