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 is engineered to help you bring new services to market faster and more cost-effectively than ever before. It offers a highly scalable switch fabric that can grow from 2.5G to 10G and in-service capacity upgrades.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer is part of the comprehensive Alcatel-Lucent optical portfolio, providing end-to-end optical solutions for today’s metro and long-haul networks.

• Offers seamless migration from TDM to packet networks enabling growth to a more diverse portfolio of services
• Provides seamless end-to-end optical integration and inter-working capabilities with Alcatel-Lucent and other vendor systems
• Combines the trusted reliability of SONET protection for all services plus rapid spanning tree and Resilient Package Ring (RPR) protection for data services
• Adds SAN transport and RPR switching to existing Ethernet/SONET hybrid capabilities
• Offers increased revenue-generating potential by integrating GbE, Fast Ethernet, virtual LAN, and SAN networking capabilities into existing SONET-based solutions and services
• Enhances the SONET layer by introducing Ethernet and SAN into the Wide Area Network (WAN)/Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer offers SONET, Ethernet and SAN functionality on a single compact platform in support of new services.
