The Alcatel-Lucent 1642 EMUX is a compact and highly versatile multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP) engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern telecommunications networks. Designed with flexibility and performance in mind, the 1642 EMUX enables seamless integration of legacy TDM services with high-speed Ethernet connectivity, making it an ideal solution for operators and enterprises looking to modernize their network infrastructure while maintaining support for existing services.
As part of the Alcatel-Lucent Optical Multi-Service Node (OMSN) family, the 1642 EMUX supports a broad range of network applications, from metro access and enterprise connectivity to customer-premises deployments. Its modular architecture allows for high-density configurations, including support for up to 128 E1 ports, while advanced SDH capabilities ensure reliable and resilient service delivery through features like Subnetwork Connection Protection (SNCP) and Multiplex Section Protection (MSP).
In addition to its strong SDH foundation, the 1642 EMUX delivers comprehensive Ethernet functionality, including Ethernet over SDH (EoS), VLAN tagging, quality of service (QoS) mechanisms, and MEF-certified services such as E-Line and E-LAN. This blend of legacy and next-generation support makes the device a future-proof investment for network operators aiming to bridge the gap between traditional and IP-based infrastructures.
The unit’s compact form factor, energy efficiency, and dual power supply options make it particularly well-suited for space-constrained environments such as telecom edge sites, remote offices, and enterprise facilities. Whether used to aggregate traffic at the network edge or deliver multi-service access to end-users, the Alcatel 1642 EMUX is engineered to provide reliable, scalable, and cost-effective service delivery in today’s hybrid networking environments.
