The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320 and its compact chassis version, the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-160, are next generation Packet-Optical Transport platforms. These products operate on common software and hardware and use the same universal-switch matrix architecture to supports any mix of traffic, from all-circuit to all-packet. The 1850 TSS-320 and 1850 TSS-160 feature the first industry implementation of T-MPLS and will support the closely related MPLS-TP in the future.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) allows smoothly transforming backhaul networks from TDM to IP and provides efficient transport of multimedia traffic while still supporting legacy TDM. It improves packet aggregation, increases bandwidth, enhances Ethernet connectivity and delivers the Quality of Service (QoS) end users require. With the Alcatel-Lucent 9500 MPR, networks can efficiently manage rapid growth in multimedia traffic because packets are handled natively and transmission is adapted to the propagation conditions and quality required by different types of services.
