Alcatel-Lucent 735x ISAM FTTB Product Portfolio Enabling Triple Play Services
The delivery of premium video services — be it IPTV or over-the-top (OTT) video — produces nearly an order of magnitude increase in bandwidth demands. As a result, service providers have been looking at deep fiber deployments: some operators deploy DSLAMs in cabinets or in buildings to shorten the copper loops, enabling them to deliver the required high bitrates over VDSL2 or ADSL2plus; others remove the copper loop altogether and connect subscribers with Fiber to the Home.
The Alcatel-Lucent 735x ISAM FTTB Product Family is the newest addition to the ISAM family, and gives service providers the flexibility and scalability necessary for the successful delivery of triple play services. By allowing operators to deploy DSLAM equipment closer to the subscriber — typically in building, curb, or cabinet deployments — the Alcatel-Lucent 735x ISAM FTTB Product Family enables cost-effective delivery of triple play services.
Leveraging the ISAM family advantage As part of the Alcatel-Lucent ISAM portfolio, the 735x Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) Fiber to the Building (FTTB) Product Family plays a critical role in extending coverage for premium services to all subscribers. This is made possible with a family of small DSLAMs — also known as remotes — which can be placed in cabinets, buildings, or at the curb.
Introducing the Alcatel-Lucent 735x ISAM FTTB product family members With the Alcatel-Lucent 735x ISAM Product Family, service providers have a broad choice of densities, aggregation technologies, and deployment models capable of bringing fiber to the most economical point. Moreover, the variety of form factors lets service providers maximize their customer base with a full triple play offer.
Unique advantages of the Alcatel-Lucent 735x ISAM FTTB family With the 735x ISAM FTTB Product Family’s unique advantages, in combination with other members of the ISAM family, service providers can deliver on any FTTX deployment model with reduced CAPEX and OPEX. They are also positioned to capture new revenue from over-the-top application content providers looking to assure their customers of superior QoE. Figure 1.
Distributed DSLAMs – 24x fewer nodes to manage The 735x FTTB product family not only supports the standard fiber and Ethernet aggregation technologies, it also offers the unique “Distributed DSLAMs” concept. With this approach to aggregation, the Alcatel-Lucent 7330 Remote Aggregator serves as a host for remote REMs and SEMs. As a result, the number of nodes in a remote deployment is reduced by a factor of 24x. This is because the remotes are managed, not as individual nodes, but as remote host linecards.
More about the 735x FTTB family members The Alcatel-Lucent 7352 ISAM FTTB ONT is ideal for service providers pursuing an FTTB strategy or a combination of FTTH and FTTB. Typically such service providers are deploying FTTH to single-dwelling units, but for economical and time-to-market reasons they want to re-use existing in-building copper in multi-dwelling units.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7356 ISAM FTTB REM has been especially designed for service providers rolling out Very High Speed Broadband services using VDSL2 or ADSL2+ from remote deployments, with a smooth migration for existing ADSL and voice customers. The Distributed DSLAM concept makes the Alcatel-Lucent 7356 ISAM FTTB REM particularly well suited for large-scale deployments and for the extension of an existing ISAM deployment to FTTB/FTTN remotes.
