Lucent Stinger

The Lucent Stinger is a high-capacity, carrier-grade DSL Access Concentrator (DSLAM) designed to deliver scalable, reliable broadband services over copper infrastructure. Widely deployed by telecom operators worldwide, the Stinger platform supports a variety of DSL technologies—including ADSL, ADSL2+, and SHDSL—enabling service providers to offer high-speed internet, voice, and video services from central offices or remote cabinets. With its modular architecture, high port density, and robust ATM-based switching, the Stinger remains a trusted solution for broadband access networks.

At Carritech, we support the full range of Lucent Stinger systems, including FS, FS+, and LS models. We supply fully tested hardware, replacement line cards, and spare modules to help operators maintain and extend the life of their legacy infrastructure. Whether you’re managing active deployments or planning for a gradual transition, our expert team ensures you have the equipment and knowledge to keep your network running efficiently.

• Modular Architecture
  Field-replaceable line cards and control modules allow flexible service expansion and simplified maintenance.

• Multiservice DSL Support
  Compatible with ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, and SHDSL technologies for both residential and business broadband delivery.

• ATM Switching Fabric
  High-performance, busless design ensures low-latency, efficient traffic handling across voice, data, and video services.

• Carrier-Grade Reliability
  Redundant power supplies, hot-swappable components, and environmental hardening (in Stinger RT models) ensure continuous uptime.

• Remote Deployment Options
  Available in compact configurations (LS, RT) suitable for curbside cabinets or remote sites.

• Scalable Uplink Capacity
  Supports high-bandwidth uplinks via OC-3, OC-12, and Gigabit Ethernet for seamless integration with metro and core networks.

• Service-Aware Features
  Supports advanced functions such as IP multicast, traffic shaping, and per-subscriber QoS for efficient service delivery.

• Flexible Management
  Supports local and remote management via CLI, SNMP, and centralized network management platforms.
