Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-3 Transport Service Switch 3
Versatility, to Meet Customer Needs
Customers are using IP-based applications and services at an ever-increasing rate, compelling service
providers to converge network infrastructure into an integrated framework capable of supporting very
high bandwidth, packet-based services. This infrastructure must also be capable of broaching the
first and last mile.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-3 meets this broaching need by offering up to 3 Gb/s of Ethernet in
the first and last mile, using fiber or copper. The 1850 TSS-3 is a member of the Alcatel-Lucent 1850
Transport Service Switch portfolio, a family of products that is helping businesses move gradually
from an all-circuit environment to an all-packet environment, in incremental and affordable steps.
With worldwide appeal, the 1850 TSS-3 is a future-safe, carrier-class Ethernet switch and NTU.
The device’s versatility is demonstrated by its network-side capability of transporting first and last
mile (or further), aggregated traffic using fiber or copper. When fiber is available on the network
side, the 1850 TSS-3 can join directly to the Metro-Ethernet domain.
Alternatively, the 1850 TSS-3 can be configured as a connection between the customer-side LAN
and the service-provider WAN, offering rate-limiting and other cost-optimizing functionalities.
The use of small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules or 10 Gb/s form-factor pluggables (XFPs) for
fiber connections offers cost-effective and scalable functionality, functionality common to the entire
1850 TSS family.
