7Alcatel-Lucent 1692 Metrospan Edge
Fully scalable from two wavelengths
up to 16, the Alcatel-Lucent 1692
MSE allows service providers to
purchase only the capacity required
and then to increase capacity only
as consumer demand increases. That
is, as requirements change over time,
the system’s manageability and func -
tionality can be adapted in incre -
mental steps.
Adaptable solutions allow quick
reaction to rapidly changing market
conditions and ensure timely imple -
mentation of new services. The
Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE ensures
that combinations of very different
client services (SONET/SDH, SAN,
IP, video) can be transported trans -
parently on a single wavelength,
without the need to upgrade the
whole network; this shortens the
overall time-to-market and increases
the number of services that can be
delivered. Each wavelength can be
unidirectional or bidirectional. The
Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE tributary
cards feature hot plug-and-play optics,
so the user can customize provi sioning
while the remainder of the NE is
under load.
