Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch
Metro/regional WDM platform
The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) is the industrys first metro/regional wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) platform purpose-built for flexible and automated WDM networking. Building on the unique Alcatel-Lucent Zero Touch Photonics technology, which enables easier operations and faster time-to-market for wavelength services, the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS helps service providers meet the new requirements for profitable Internet growth while controlling costs.
Zero Touch Photonics: changing the WDM paradigm
Todays WDM networking solutions, including those based on reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexing (ROADM) technology, offer high-bandwidth capacity to meet traffic growth. However, deploying and operating a WDM network requires heavy manual involvement and on-site interventions at each step of the network life cycle, from planning to service provisioning. These limitations translate into hidden costs that negatively affect business cases, making it difficult for service providers to price competitively and offer on-demand, content-focused services in a timely fashion. Maintaining a sustainable business requires supporting bandwidth growth while optimizing total cost of ownership (TCO) and expanding the revenue-generating potential with more dynamic service options. These requirements drive the new demands for the nextgeneration photonic infrastructure. A WDM network must be: Flexible in plan, design and installation while being ready for service Simple to operate, manage and monitor for an assured quality of experience Quick to change when meeting more dynamic traffic demands Alcatel-Lucent Zero Touch Photonics technology innovation changes the WDM paradigm. The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS product family clearly focuses on new revenue generation and relieves cost concerns with increased networking flexibility and operational automation, by offering: Photonic switching: Multidegree tunable and reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing (T/ROADM) design allows full networking flexibility, where any service client can be transported over any wavelength in any direction.
