Alcatel Lucent 1850 TSS

The Nokia 1850 Transport Service Switch 320 (TSS-320H) platform provides converged, connection-oriented support for Carrier Ethernet MEF2.0 services and packet services, as well as native and emulated support for TDM and SDH services. It is suited for edge and metro regional sites.

• Up to 1.2Tb/s switching capacity, with unique, universal-switch architecture
  • Packet or circuit switching in their native format
  • SDH switching, including high order/low order (HO/LO) virtual circuit (VC) switching
  • Any traffic mix, from all-circuit to all-packet
• MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 standards-based, connection-oriented packet transport through MPLS-TP
  • Transport-oriented operations, administration and maintenance (OA&M) for Ethernet and MPLS-TP
  • Highly scalable linear and ring full-packet protection, allowing multiplefailure sub-50ms resiliency
• 1850 TSS single-NE, multi-shelf arrangements with drop shelves, offering optimized fan out for E1 circuits, as well as compact coarse or dense wavelength division multiplexing (C/DWDM) options, leveraging the Nokia 1662 Synchronous
• Multiplexer Compact, the Nokia 1646 Synchronous
• Multiplexer (SDH/PDH) and the Nokia 1830
• Versatile WDM Module (VWM) (photonic)
• Multiple synchronization options for transport networks:
  • SDH G.813 synchronization, including synch status message (SSM)
  • Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) with SSM
  • Full interworking between TDM and data synchronization, including SSM messages for supporting timing redundancy
  • EEE 1588v2 for Time of Day (ToD)
• Secure management
  • User authentication
  • Encryption of management protocols
  • Security logs

This packet optical transport (POT) platform supports any mix of traffic, from all-circuit to all-packet, with an up to 1.2Tb/s switching capacity fabric and 100 Gigabit Ethernet optical interfaces.

As part of a large 1850 TSS portfolio for POT networks, the TSS-320H supports a combination of transport technologies — including Carrier Ethernet, Multi-Protocol Label Switching-Transport Profile (MPLS-TP), wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and TDM.

Two protected switching fabrics, each offering two options:

• 1.28Tb/s packet-based switching capacity or 320Gb/s HO SDH TDM switching capacity
• 800Gb/s packet-based switching capacity or 160Gb/s HO SDH TDM switching capacity
• 16 full slots (or 32 half slots) for I/O cards with the following traffic capability:
  • 8 full slots with 100Gb/s
  • 8 full slots with 60Gb/s
• All half slots with 10Gb/s
• Two protected controllers
• Two protected power supplies
• One fan tray with fully redundant fans
• Up to two subracks in a standard ETSI rack
