Customer Benefits
Unrivaled Reliability
Reliability is critical in a next-gener -
ation network element and whether
your business is transporting voice,
data or video, the Alcatel-Lucent
1671 SC platform offers unrivaled
performance reliability while exceed-
ing NEBS Level 3 standards as defined
in GR-63-CORE. The redundancy
of all key components results in much
greater resiliency when compared to
the competition. The Alcatel-Lucent
1671 SC provides a Copy 0/Copy 1
physically diverse matrix structure
in which traffic flows through both
matrix copies while the I/O determines
the best path. This allows for seamless
scalability and ease of maintenance.
In addition, the facility naming func-
tion allows hierarchical identification
of downline facilities — right down
to the DS0 level if required.
Unparalleled Capacity
with Room to Grow
The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC sets
the new industry standard offering
240 Gb/s matrix capacity, with
Copy 0/Copy 1 redundancy, in only
two seven-foot I/O racks. When
developing the Alcatel-Lucent 1671
SC, Alcatel-Lucent considered all
types of businesses, large and small.
The result is a per-rack capacity that
scales in small increments promot -
ing a pay-as-you-grow philosophy.
Coupled with a wide array of cus -
tomer interfaces, the Alcatel-Lucent
1671 SC is designed to meet the needs
of a variety of customers and applica -
tions. This tremendous capacity, with
its full breadth of interfaces, is already
enabling businesses to maximize their
network capabilities from the core to
the edge, while eliminating the need
for adjunct devices or overbuilds.
