Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320
TRANSPORT SERVICE SWITCH | RELEASE 3
The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320 is a next-generation, Packet-Optical Transport platform that supports any
mix of traffic, from all-circuit to all-packet. Its unique universal matrix seamlessly switches packets or circuits
in their native format, cost effectively transforming from TDM to packets. With the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320,
businesses can begin with circuit-based transport and, over time, gradually ramp up packet transport by simply
changing line cards. The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320 supports current traffic requirements while eliminating
the scalability issues encountered when traditional multiservice provisioning platforms are confronted with the
high growth of packet-based traffic.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320 offers
the flexibility to split increasing traffic
demands among any combination of
carrier Ethernet, Transport MPLS
(T-MPLS), wavelength division multi-
plexing (WDM), optical data unit (ODU)
and SDH/SONET transport technologies.
It offers powerful cross-layer network
management and a unified control
plane, simplifying operations and
reducing the total cost of ownership.
