6 Alcatel-Lucent 1692 Metrospan Edge
The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE sup -
ports up to 16 wavelengths sustain ing
variable-rate and fixed-rate optical
interfaces, capable of accepting a
broad range of data rates. Dedicated
TDM concentrators (4xAny card and
2xGE-FC card) are available to opti -
mize transportation of a bundle of
signals, groomed accordingly to a syn -
chronous frame structure. These cards
reduce the cost of each client service
and maximize optical channel usage.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE’s
4xAny concentrator card can multi -
plex up to 4 low-speed client signals
(for example OC-3/12, ATM1/4, FE,
GE, FC etc.) to one OC-48 signal.
The 2xGE-FC card multiplexes
two GigE or FC signals using the
transparent-mapped generic framing
procedure (GFP-T) standard. A small
number of backup cards, (compact
in size and low in power consumption)
keep the operation, administration,
and maintenance (OAM) costs of
the Alcatel-Lucent1692 MSE low.
Tributary cards for the Alcatel-Lucent
1692 MSE have hot plug-and-play
optics; this permits customization of
the transponder, resulting in increased
flexibility of the product.
