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.
