The Alcatel-Lucent 1642 Edge Multiplexer Compact(EMC), part of the Optical Multi-Service Node (OMSN) family, is an ideal space-saving, next generation, multiservice building block for CPE and access layer applications in the metropolitan and enterprise network. Due to the super compact mechanism design (1U height), the product offers customers space and power consumption savings as well as significant cost savings.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1642 EMC is designed to handle network access, CPE applications and enterprise implementations at STM-1 (155M) with aggregation features for low speed rate signals such as 2Mb/s. The Alcatel-Lucent 1642 EMC is capable of handling data scenarios and support a maximum of three STM-1 (155M) interfaces plus 14 x E1; offering service providers a flexible solution to meet the increased interface requirements for metro access, CPE and enterprise premise applications.

Benefits:

• Cost-effectiveness: Network operators can choose from a variety of units with an optimized number of ports, allowing them to buy only what they need
• Full-ADM capabilities at end-customer premises: Can be used to deliver 2 Mb/s and Ethernet/Fast Ethernet leased lines as well as higher-end services such as 34 Mb/s, 45 Mb/s, and STM-1 rates with a versatile and compact chassis ideal for enterprise locations
• Flexibility: Main frame contains 2 x STM-1 interfaces, 14 x E1 interface, an SDH matrix, clock reference and equipment control functions allowing the system to be configured for a variety of applications
• Reliability: Offers two types of network protection: Linear Multiplex Section Protection (MSP) and Sub-Network Connection Protection (SNCP)
• Ease of use: Has a centralized control architecture that limits the presence of processors and software to the main frame
• Common Management: Can be commonly managed by the TMN 1350 series along with other OMSN family products
• Hardware Reuse: Supports all traffic boards of the 1642 EM, such as 8 x E1, 32/28/8 x 2 Mb/s (2mm HM interface), 8 x 2 Mb/s retiming (coaxial interface), 1 x 34/45 Mb/s, 1 x STM-1 (S-1.1, L-1.1, or L-1.2), 8 x Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX and 2 x 10/100 Base-TX plus 1 x 100 Base-FX, and so on
• Enhanced Data Aware Function: Offers rate adaptive Ethernet 10/100 transport, mapping on N x VC-12, N x VC-3 with virtual concatenation and providing local Layer 2 switching

Features:

• Compact Design: 1U height (440 mm W x 44 mm H x 260 mm D)
• Flexible Interface Options: Network interfaces: compact ADM function with 2 x STM-1 (S-1.1, L-1.1, L-1.2 or STM-1 electrical) plus 14 x 2 Mb/s (2mm HM interface). Available customer interfaces (one slot): 32/28/8x2 Mb/s (2mm HM interface), 8 x 2 Mb/s retiming (coaxial interface), 1 x 34/45 Mb/s, 1 x STM-1 (S-1.1, L-1.1, L-1.2 or STM-1 electrical), 8 x Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX, 3 x Ethernet with 2 x 10/100 Base-TX plus 1 x 100 Base-FX
• Variety of Protection Schemes: SNCP/I (VC12, VC3), SNCP D&C, 1 + 1 MSP (single-ended), DC Power redundancy
• Performance Monitoring: according to G.784, G.826, G.821 on TP (MS/RS on STM-1, E3, E1)
• Flexible Power Supply: The transmission chassis can be powered either directly by a - 48V DC or by 24V DC with power redundancy, or by AC 220V
