Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU
INTELLIGENT SERVICES ACCESS MANAGER FIBER TO THE USER (ETSI)
Optical access at its best — a GPON system with a 2.5 Gb/s line rate and up to 40-km reach on an IP platform
that enables service providers to deliver triple play services.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU is
a gigabit passive optical network (GPON)
solution with a 2.5 Gb/s downstream and
1.2 Gb/s upstream line rate. This system
is ideal for cost-effectively delivering
high-bandwidth, IP-converged triple
play services (voice, video, and data)
to residential and business customers.
In addition to the product’s unmatched
density and high performance, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU is
standards-compliant and part of a
comprehensive end-to-end triple
play solution.
The system consists of an Optical
Line Terminal (OLT) in the Central
Office (CO) or in a remote cabinet,
and various Optical Network Terminals
(ONTs) located at the subscriber premises.
As a comprehensive integrated solution,
the Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU has
the flexibility to deliver RF video, IPTV,
data, legacy and next-generation voice,
all on a single platform. It offers the
added flexibility to deliver RF video
using a separate wavelength over
the same fiber. The Alcatel-Lucent
7342 ISAM FTTU is managed by the
Alcatel-Lucent 5520 Access Manage-
ment System (AMS) — the manage-
ment platform for all Alcatel-Lucent
access products. The system applies
Alcatel-Lucent ISAM technology for
intelligent IP-based access. This
technology has been rapidly adopted
worldwide because it is designed for
wire-speed performance with cost-
effective Ethernet switching and
enhanced Layer 2/Layer 3 functions.
Features
• Developed and tested as part of
an end-to-end triple play solution,
including routers, servers, gateways,
and OAM&P
• Largest portfolio of ONTs for all
possible network applications, such
as single family homes, multi-dwelling
homes, businesses, outdoor and
indoor installation
• Extensive security, fault isolation
and performance management tools
• Managed with the Alcatel-Lucent
5520 AMS
Benefits
• Proven performance eliminates the
guesswork regarding network design
and integration capabilities
• Enables service providers to serve a
variety of subscribers and applications
using a single GPON platform
• Reduces operational expenses
and expedites service delivery
to subscribers
• Extending the reach and increasing
the split ratio, service providers can
address even more users from the
central office and in this way
decrease the CAPEX and OPEX
• Reduces operational expenses with
one management system for fiber
and copper solutions
Key elements
Optical Line Terminal (OLT)
The Alcatel-Lucent 7342 Optical
Line Terminal (OLT) performs optical
aggregation and provides cost-effective
interfaces to edge IP network switches/
routers. It is a chassis-based system with
a highly scalable backplane architecture.
The OLT has 14 interface slots for GPON
line termination cards, two slots for
