Alcate-Lucent ISAM Voice10
Combo solutions 
Voice lines provided by Alcatel-Lucent ISAM Voice can 
be delivered from a combo shelf on which voice and DSL 
are both provisioned. The combo shelf enables simplified 
cabling with MDF, zero-touch service provisioning and 
flexible growth of voice or xDSL services. 
Shortest-path routing for voice calls 
Local voice calls (calls between two subscribers served 
by the same Alcatel-Lucent ISAM node) are not routed 
through the NGN backbone, thus decreasing transmission 
and backbone capacity consumption.
Common shelves with any ISAM application 
New Alcatel-Lucent ISAM Voice hardware and software 
can be installed in existing or new Alcatel-Lucent ISAM 
standard racks. 
Line testing 
Metallic Test Access (MTA) is supported for POTS. In-
tegrated line testing is also supported in conjunction with 
the Alcatel-Lucent 5530 Network Analyzer, which facilitates 
fully integrated narrowband and broadband testing. 
Part of the end-to-end IP voice solution
As illustrated in Figure 2 Alcatel-Lucent ISAM Voice 
is fully integrated with the rest of the Alcatel-Lucent 
portfolio to offer end-to-end solutions for the NGN/IMS. 
Layered on top of other Alcatel-Lucent products — 
intended for the growth of the PSTN network or PSTN 
legacy migration - ISAM Voice positions the Alcatel-
Lucent ISAM family, including the Alcatel-Lucent  
1540 Litespan MSAN, as the access/voice gateway  
for NGN/IMS deployments. These are focused on the  
immediate introduction of triple play services. At the 
same time, the fully standards-based Alcatel-Lucent 
ISAM Voice supports multivendor triple play NGN/IMS 
access opportunities.
