Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-100 9
Supporting business services
Enterprises are increasing their use of high-bandwidth
applications and they are more frequently interconnecting
LANs and data centers within a metro area. To address
this market, operators need scalable, carrier-class solutions
that offer operators guaranteed QoS levels, support for
differentiated SLAs and customer separation. Operators
can build either dedicated Ethernet networks or multiservice
networks able to provide other services through the same
networking platform. The 1850 TSS-100 supports both of
these models.
Wireless network traffic is increasing significantly with
growth in subscriber usage and the introduction of new,
wireless data services, such as video telephony, music, Internet
surfing and live television, along with video-on-demand
(VoD). Price-based competition makes profitable growth
a challenge. Nevertheless, operators are forced to invest
in new infrastructure to serve their customers’ needs. Should
they expand with TDM technology for more capacity now
and worry about strategically evolving to 3G and all-IP
later, or can they expand innovatively, making the net-
work better now, while anticipating future requirements?
The 1850 TSS-100 helps operators introduce new business
services, either by leveraging the installed base, or by
introducing a single platform to replace multiple tradi-
tional systems. In both instances, providing a fully flexible
and reliable transport platform that meets today’s growth
requirements for both Ethernet- and TDM-based traffic
opens the door for a strategic move toward an IP-based
infrastructure.
