Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN Intelligent Services Access Manager Fiber-to-the-Node
The Alcatel-Lucent 7330 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) Fiber-to-the-Node (FTTN) takes the best of Alcatel-Lucent’s DSL developments, and provides a unique set of capabilities that enables you to deliver the most competitive triple play service offerings. Building on Alcatel-Lucent’s leadership in broadband access, the Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN addresses your growing requirement for a deep-fiber access solution.
The Alcatel-Lucent Fiber-to-the-Node Solution for Deep-Fiber Access Power and Flexibility for Your Unique Needs Alcatel-Lucent has been the world leader in DSL deployments since the early development of the technology. To date, Alcatel-Lucent has shipped more than 143 million DSL lines worldwide. Market requirements for bandwidth to the subscriber have increased tremendously since the initial deployments of DSL services.
IP services in the home are the key to winning the battle against your competition. Taking the Battle to a New Level Halting the Siege If you are a traditional ILEC service provider, you are likely under siege. Cable operators have attacked you in the broadband and voice market. By offering voice services, they have begun to capture voice customers at an accelerating rate. Competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) are continuing to be a major factor, too.
Increasing Bandwidth to the Subscriber for Deployment of New Interactive Services The good news is that FTTN economically increases the available bandwidth to the subscriber while leveraging the existing copper plant to keep costs down. Technological Hurdles The existing DSL network was engineered to provide HSI access with downstream bandwidth between 0.5 and 2 Mb/s. Competition and increasing usage of the broadband connection have driven HSI bandwidth requirements into the 3 to 8 Mb/s range.
FTTN Leverages the Existing Copper Infrastructure For many customers, the long-term solution is to deploy fiber-to-the-user (FTTU). This will enable the delivery of virtually unlimited subscriber bandwidth. While this solution is available today and practical in many cases, time-to-market and short-term economic pressures are driving a more incremental access strategy — FTTN.
Indeed, FTTN networks have several key advantages, including: • Triple play service capabilities • Small footprint and minimal power requirements • An incremental step toward FTTU enabled by an investment in deep fiber • Seamless integration into existing operations processes, reducing training costs • Accelerated deployment, reducing costs and time-to-market while increasing revenues • Allowing the migration of voice services to new IMS-based architectures The Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN is capable of va
Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN — World-Class Technology for World-Class Solutions The Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN builds on AlcatelLucent’s worldwide DSL expertise by integrating the best technology available from the Alcatel-Lucent 7302 ISAM into a more compact remote digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM), which is tailored for the unique requirements of FTTN networks. Figure 2 illustrates an Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN network layout, depicting a standard service provider coverage area.
To meet the challenging requirements of an FTTN network, the Alcatel-Lucent 7330 FTTN has been engineered to support: • A non-blocking Ethernet architecture to enable 100-percent IPTV take rates • Expansion shelves and sealed expansion modules to match network population densities • Full Internet group management protocol (IGMP) support for multicasting • Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) network interfaces • Multiple ADSL line termination (LT) options: ¬ ADSL ¬ ADSL2 ¬ ADSL2plus, with bonding ¬ READSL2 • VDSL LT op
Alcatel-Lucent FTTN: Multiple Options, One Solution At the heart of the Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN is an Ethernet switch fabric and distributed network processors. The high-capacity Ethernet switch fabric is hardened for outside plant deployments and is leveraged across a four-slot host shelf (the same shelf is used as an expansion shelf) and one or more sealed enclosure modules (SEMs) for a total of up to 768 lines (See Figure 2).
FTTN Expansion for Addition of Subscriber Interfaces The Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN supports expansion modules that have been designed for the addition of subscriber interfaces without the need for additional switching capacity. As such, the Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN host serves as your central hub for expansion modules, expansion shelves and sealed enclosure modules (SEMs) and extends GigE interfaces to these highdensity subscriber interfaces.
Enabling Efficient Growth THE ALCATEL-LUCENT 7330 ISAM FTTN EXPANSION SHELF AND SEALED EXPANSION MODULE The modularity of the Alcatel-Lucent 7330 ISAM FTTN expansion shelf (ES) enables your efficient growth of services and supports up to 192 DSL lines per shelf (as shown in Figure 4). The same shelf, which is used for the host is also used for the ES. The expansion shelves can be collocated with a host shelf at a common site, or remotely located with the host and expansion shelf at separate sites.
