11 Alcatel-Lucent 1671 Service Connect
Providing IXCs with a Converged Infrastructure
The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC can also be used to enable interexchange
carriers (IXCs) to collapse their narrowband, wideband and broadband
switching layers into a single, converged infrastructure, as shown in Figure 1.
In this scenario, the benefits to the IXCs include:
• High speed optical interfaces, which reduce local access fees
• Support for central office modernization to reduce hardware requirements
and maximize network efficiency
• Data adaptation and aggregation
