In the world of digital
information, service providers
are building the New Public Network
- a next generation, multiservice
network combining IP, Frame Relay
and ATM technologies. Together
these technologies provide improved
performance, expanded service
capability and increased revenue
opportunities. Lucent Technologies
Multiservice Core Switching Solution
includes the technology, equipment
and expertise that allow service
providers and corporations to
build comprehensive core networks,
from residential or business access
to backbone infrastructure.
Extend the
value of your existing network
with the proven, carrier-class
performance, reliability and scalability
needed to deliver Frame Relay,
ATM and IP services over a single,
unified multiservice backbone.
Lucent's Multiservice Core Switching
Solutions meet your network performance
and growth needs by offering a
seamless migration from ATM to
MPLS while supporting today's
ATM, Frame Relay and emerging
business-quality IP services.
And they help minimize capital
and operational expenses by reducing
network complexity and simplifying
network management.
Lucent
Technologies Multiservice Core
Switching Solution consists of
the following products:
PacketStar
PSAX Multiservice
Switch and Media Gateways
Family
The PacketStar®
(PSAX) family is multiservice
switch and media gateways
that enable worldwide
service providers
and large enterprise
customers to concentrate
a variety of lower
speed services on
to a common broadband
infrastructure. They
deliver voice, video,
and data applications
by supporting services
such as Frame Relay,
circuit emulation,
ATM and IP. These
highly scalable platforms
optimize your existing
network infrastructure
to help you generate
revenues by delivering
carrier-grade access
for voice, video,
and data applications
through circuit emulation,
frame relay, IP, and
ATM services. The
PacketStar family
of products can also
save you money by
introducing a new
market dynamic in
networking called
multi-networking,
enabling you to reduce
inventory, sparing
and training costs
across multiple wireless
and wireline segments.
It supports the wide
range interface modules
including DS1/E1,
DS3/E3, OC-3c and
STM-1, STM-4, 10/100
BaseT Ethernet, analog
voice, or digital
voice with voice processing
capabilities (compression,
echo cancellation,
silence suppression
and interworking).
CBX
500 Multiservice Switch
The CBX 500 Multiservice
WAN Switch is a foundation
for next-generation
networks that service
providers can use
to scale, simplify,
and consolidate converged
public networks of
today and tomorrow.
Service providers
can leverage this
switch's intelligence,
reliability, and multiservice
port density into
new revenue sources
while streamlining
their networks. Deployed
at the network core
or edge, this 5 Gbps
switch delivers ATM,
Frame Relay, and IP
carrier-class networking.
Together the quad-plane
redundant switch fabric,
the output-buffering
scheme, and the hardware
implementation of
ATM service classes
ensure end-to-end
quality of service
(QoS).
GX
550 & GX 550 ES Multiservice
Switch
The GX 550 Multiservice
WAN Switch combines core
quality ATM switching and
transport with native support
for IP, MPLS, and Frame
Relay over a wide range
of SONET/SDH interfaces,
as well as gigabit Ethernet.
The GX 550 has revolutionized
global core ATM networks
with its scalability, capacity,
availability, quad-plane
architecture for simultaneously
delivering dynamic mixes
of different traffic types
with ensured Quality of
Service (QoS), and its comprehensive
suite of NavisCore and NavisXtend
network and service management
tools. With its native IP,
MPLS, and Frame Relay support,
the GX 550 switch expands
its mission to provide high
port density, multiservice
access switching and standards-based
service aggregation to the
core.
The GX 550™ ES is a
scalable, cost-effective,
high-port density extension
shelf, which extends the
service functionality of
the GX 550 Core ATM Switch.
The GX 550 ES provides high-capacity
circuit emulation services
(CES) and ATM services on
the same physical interface,
with a common network management
system (NavisCore).
Memotec
