The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer is a compact, yet highly-scalable Ethernet/SAN/SONET platform that bridges the bandwidth gap between LANs and core backbone networks. The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer enables multi-service growth from traditional voice/private line services to Ethernet/SAN services while improving data networking efficiency.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer Explore is an ultra-compact SONET multiplexer that facilitates new service deployment options and offers the same protection level as many larger next-generation platforms. It is designed to support fiber to the business and fiber to the curb applications, and affordably extend the SONET network to small and medium-sized enterprise customers. The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer Explore can support the customer at the network edge, or deliver high-quality, next-generation services in areas with low end-user density.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer Extend is designed to bring high-capacity TDM, Ethernet, and SAN services to the metro access network edge. This compact platform offers the flexibility to combine optical, SONET layer transmission interfaces with cost-effective Ethernet and SAN (FICON/ESCON/FC) interfaces. It can enable deployment of SONET and facility protected high-speed OC-48, OC-12 or OC-3 networks in remote areas of the local-loop where space is limited and multiple interfaces must be supported.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 Service Connect (SC) is a next generation, multiservice cross-connect designed to support the growing demands for multiple services types, including narrowband, wideband, and broadband functionalities, as well as support for data services (e.g. Ethernet). The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC represents a leap forward in cross-connect architecture, providing unrivaled density (4,608 DS3 equivalents per system) and a robust feature set. Engineered for networks requiring speeds from DS1 to OC-192, the scalability of the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC allows service providers to customize their networks to meet current requirements while enabling them to plan for future demands.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1677 SONET Link is a powerful, high-density optical bandwidth management platform that incorporates next-generation SONET features and high bandwidth optical networking capabilities. The Alcatel-Lucent 1677 SONET Link lowers cost of ownership by consolidating multiple network functions including SONET add/drop multiplexers (ADMs), digital cross-connects (DCS) and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) terminals into a single, compact platform.
