The Alcatel-Lucent 7250 Service Access Switch (SAS) is a feature-rich customer edge device, purpose-built to
increase service-provider revenues and deliver a complete portfolio of Carrier Ethernet services to enterprises.
The 7250 SAS is Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) 9 and MEF 14 certified and supports Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS), Ethernet, circuit emulation, and operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) tools. It is managed
by the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM). The 7250 SAS enables service providers to increase
revenues through enhanced service offerings and allows enterprise customers to expand capabilities and
decrease costs.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7250 SAS gives
service providers a competitive edge
by cost-effectively extending service
intelligence to the customer edge.
By extending service intelligence to
the customer premises, the 7250 SAS
allows service providers to extend
service level agreements (SLAs) to the
customer premises and provides access
to more enhanced Carrier Ethernet
services such as virtual private local
area network (LAN) services (VPLS)
and virtual private wire services (VPWS),
which support the increasing demands
of enterprise data, voice and video
applications. In addition, the 7250 SAS
enables service providers to transpar-
ently carry Time Division Multiplexing-
(TDM) based voice and data applica-
tions across an IP/MPLS backbone to
enable new circuit emulation services
(CES) and support TDM backhauling
applications such as Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) backhaul and leased
line replacement.
The 7250 SAS gives enterprise customers
a competitive advantage by reducing
their leased line costs when connectivity
is provided by the service provider. The
7250 SAS also increases the services
that enterprises can provide to their
internal customers. All the benefits of
the 7250 SAS gained by a service pro-
vider that offers services to enterprises
can be realized by enterprise customers
who decide to install and manage their
own private networks.
