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 1675 Lambda Unite MultiService Switch supports SONET/SDH rings, while enabling a graceful migration towards dynamic mesh-based networking. The system offers a full non-blocking duplicated switch matrix, including 160G, 320G and 640G capacities that are in-service upgradeable.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1675 Lambda Unite MultiService Switch supports a variety of applications in both ring and mesh network topologies while keeping your network flexible, cost-effective, and easy to maintain.

• Innovative and highly flexible “any card in any slot” architecture reduces equipment types
• Centralized non-blocking switch with flexible capacity options help to reduce floor space and operations costs
• Multiservice support enables new service revenue opportunities
• Simultaneous ring and mesh support help enable future network topologies and growth

The Alcatel-Lucent 1675 Lambda Unite MultiService Switch allows you to use one platform to manage SDH and SONET traffic, while quickly enabling services such as Gigabit Ethernet to help generate new revenue.
