The Alcatel 7330‑FX 8 ISAM is a compact, high-performance IP access node designed for Fiber‑to‑the‑Node (FTTN) and small central office or cabinet deployments. Its 19‑inch chassis supports a modular configuration optimized for triple‑play broadband delivery over copper and fiber, offering a powerful yet space-efficient solution for localized service aggregation environments.
Built to support both legacy and advanced broadband access technologies, the 7330‑FX 8 ISAM accommodates up to 8 slots for line interface, fiber aggregation, and remote expansion modules. This flexible architecture allows operators to deploy a mix of VDSL2, ADSL, SHDSL, Ethernet, or GPON modules depending on service area needs.
Ideal for high-density FTTN scenarios, the platform supports hierarchical aggregation using subtending remote expansion modules. This streamlines network architecture and enables efficient, scalable growth without significant infrastructure changes.
Carrier-grade in its design, the 7330‑FX 8 ISAM offers high reliability, redundant power support, and full compatibility with IP-based triple-play services, including IPTV, VoIP, and high-speed data. It’s engineered for long-term deployment in space-constrained environments while supporting remote provisioning and diagnostics.
Carritech provides full support for the 7330‑FX 8 platform, including spare parts, refurbishment, testing, and expert technical support to help operators extend the life and performance of their network equipment.

The Alcatel 7330‑FX 8 ISAM is a compact, high-capacity IP access node built for FTTN (Fiber-to-the-Node) and small central office deployments. It features a 19-inch rack-mountable chassis with 8 available slots that can be configured with a range of DSL, Ethernet, or fiber modules. This modular design allows operators to tailor installations to specific network and subscriber demands.
Each slot can accommodate high-density line cards, such as 48-port VDSL2 or ADSL2+ modules, enabling the platform to serve hundreds of subscribers from a single shelf. The system supports VDSL2 with vectoring and bonding, as well as legacy DSL protocols like ADSL2+ and SHDSL, making it ideal for mixed network environments.
For uplink and aggregation, the 7330-FX 8 provides multiple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, ensuring ample bandwidth for backhaul and upstream routing. It also supports subtending configurations, allowing operators to connect and manage traffic from remote DSLAMs or sealed cabinets—simplifying deployment in widely dispersed or rural areas.
The platform is fully compatible with IP-based triple-play service delivery, offering IPTV, VoIP, and high-speed internet access with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, VLAN management, and multicast handling. These features ensure service reliability and performance across diverse customer profiles.
Designed for carrier-grade reliability, the system includes support for redundant power inputs, hot-swappable modules, and in-service upgrades, reducing downtime and enabling scalable growth. It operates within standard telecom environmental parameters and complies with industry standards such as ETSI and NEBS.
Management is handled through standard interfaces, including CLI, SNMP, and centralized element and network management systems. Built-in diagnostics, alarm monitoring, and performance tracking features make the 7330-FX 8 ISAM easy to maintain and monitor in live deployments.
| Period | Owner / Marketer | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Early 2000s – 2006 | Alcatel | Developed under Alcatel’s DSL access lines as part of the ISAM family; the 7330‑FX variant introduced fiber‑to‑the‑node support in an 8-slot chassis. |
| 2006 – 2016 | Alcatel‑Lucent | Marketed globally as the ISAM 7330‑FX (FTTN) variant, sharing full feature compatibility with the 7302 platform but in an 8‑slot form‐factor. Supported through Release 4.x firmware, including AP1 and later R4.02.41 and R4.08.44c editions. |
| 2016 – Present | Nokia | Post‑acquisition, the 7330‑FX variant continues in **Nokia’s legacy ISAM portfolio** with support, parts, and firmware updates under Nokia branding. Firmware versions such as R4.8.44c remain documented and usable. |
