Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-100 3
Transforming transport networks
To stay profitable, operators must focus on new revenue-generating services
while carefully controlling their cost structures. At the same time, new band-
width-hungry services, such as triple play and Ethernet virtual private networks
(VPNs), are redefining the underlying transport-infrastructure requirements.
These changes are driving the move from circuit-based transport, using TDM,
to packet-based transport, using Ethernet in MANs and WANs.
Driven by end-user demand for new services, operator network capacity is
growing rapidly, with these networks transporting a wide variety of traffic.
Operators all need to assess how their existing metro and core networks will
accommodate trends and transitions in traffic patterns.
The new-services introduction is probably the most critical factor to an operator’s
success. The increasing demand for bandwidth to deliver new services is not
reflected in comparable increases in revenue, presenting a significant business
challenge. The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-100 helps operators maximize their
profitability by transporting any service mix while keeping tight control on costs.
