Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch-4

Release 7.0

The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch-4 (PSS-4) represents a new type of photonic switching
access platform for metro Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). Implementing Zero-Touch Photonics,
the 1830 PSS-4 transforms traditional WDM into a cost-effective, low-footprint and fully flexible
transport layer with complete visibility and control of individual wavelengths. This transformation
simplifies broadband service delivery, speeds time-to-revenue generation and facilitates bandwidth
expansion in optical-transport network (OTN)-based metro access networks, as well as providing a highly
secure, multiprotocol-capable, low-latency and resilient optical Data Center Connection (DCC) with a Key
Management Tool (KMT). The 1830 PSS-4 is a key member of the 1830 PSS portfolio serving applications
that span access and metro/regional networks.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 has a 2 RU

chassis with four slots available for service
cards, the same cards supported by the
Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-16 and the 1830
PSS-32 (see Figure 1).
