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.
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.

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.
