The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS Family
New bandwidth-hungry services, such as triple play and Ethernet virtual
private networks (VPNs), are placing great demands on the existing trans-
port infrastructure. To remain profitable, businesses and service providers are
embracing these new revenue-generating services by moving from circuit-based
transport, using TDM, to packet-based transport, using Ethernet.

The new-services introduction is probably the most critical factor to a
service provider’s success. The increasing demand for bandwidth for these
new services is not reflected in comparable increases in revenue, presenting a
significant business challenge. The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS helps businesses
maximize their profitability by transporting any service mix while keeping
strict control of the costs.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS is a family of multiservice packet-transport
products supporting any mix of traffic, from all-circuit to all-packet. With
these products, businesses and service providers can build highly flexible
networks that transition from circuit to packet transport gradually, as
packet capacity is required, but without disrupting existing traffic or
paying for expensive overlay networks. The 1850 TSS family optimizes
network efficiencies by aggregating native signals and allowing transport
of both packets and circuits.
