The Alcatel-Lucent 1675 Lambda Unite MultiService Switch is a next-generation multiservice optical switch that can be used as an ADM, terminal multiplexer, multi-ring hub, and broadband cross-connect. It can support small to large office applications in backbone and metro networks, addressing current and future networking needs efficiently and cost-effectively.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1678 Metro Core Connect (MCC) simplifies networks by integrating add/drop multiplexer (ADM), broadband and wideband cross-connect, and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) functionality into a single node with a full Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) control plane. As a result, service providers can reduce capital expenditures as much as 40 percent by decreasing the number of network elements required in the central office (or main exchange) while boosting network efficiency and enabling new data services.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) is a multi-reach photonic platform providing the first commercially available support for best-in-class, single-carrier 100G next generation coherent technology. Building on the unique Zero-Touch Photonics approach, which enables easier operations for reduced costs and accelerated time-to-market for wavelength services, the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS is poised to meet the new requirements for a next-generation photonic network: the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS can mimic the flexibility, automation and fast time-to-service capabilities of electrical-based transport networks.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1870 Transport Tera Switch (TTS) is a new optical core switching platform providing terabit capacity and Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities for the next-generation intelligent optical core. It is ideally suited to large-scale backbone transport networks, enabling providers to manage explosive service and bandwidth growth efficiently while transporting traffic at the lowest cost per bit. It also provides the highest availability and resiliency for improved service quality assurance, and offers advanced operational automation that minimizes the total cost of ownership (TCO) of service provider infrastructures.
