The Alcatel-Lucent 1645 Access Multiplexer Compact (AMC) offers a powerful and economical base for fiber-to-the-business applications. This compact multiservice provisioning platform aggregates traditional TDM and Ethernet services over SDH transport and can operate as customer premises equipment (CPE) or as a network edge device. It supports Ethernet from 10/100 to Gigabit Ethernet, TDM from E1 to E3, SDHL, and a rich set of STM-1/4 line and client interfaces. The 1645 AMC supports flexible ring configurations and provides highly effective solutions for enterprise network services, such as Ethernet business services and private branch exchange (PBX) interconnection over fiber, where solid performance and reliability are essential service attributes. It can also be used for interoffice applications in both access and mobile networks based on fiber or copper to facilitate Ethernet LAN communication on campus and virtual private networks (VPNs).

Target Market

The 1645 AMC will appeal to both service providers and to enterprise customers. For the service provider it serves as a small-footprint, SDH MSPP that can be installed on the customer premises to provide TDM and Ethernet services. Applications such as voice from Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) switches and private line data services use TDM services (E1/E3). Ethernet services provided by the 1645 AMC can serve a host of IP and Ethernet applications. Likewise, an enterprise customer can use the 1645 AMC to build and operate its own optical networks using leased or owned fiber.

The 1645 AMC will be attractive for direct sales for Alcatel-Lucent and for sales via Alcatel-Lucent Business Partners.

Note: The 1645 AMC is a cost-reduced version of the 1643 AM and is the new STM-1/4 strategic product. The 1643 AM will continue to be sold, but targeted to existing 1643 AM accounts.
