Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-8 and PSS-16

Photonic Service Switch

Release 8

The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS-8 and PSS-16) provides a high-capacity aggregation
and transport solution for optical transport, packet and photonic networks. This solution delivers a
versatile, scalable, metro-optimized form factor with distributed switching. The packet-optical transport
(P-OT) platforms offer metro networks the scalability, agility and efficiency to maximize revenue
generation and ROI by accelerating services availability and improving network operational efficiency.

1830 PSS-8

Features

Overview

Scalable architecture supports up to

1.6 Tb of capacity per shelf to aggregate
and transport sub-10G, 10G, 40G and
100G-plus services

The 1830 PSS-8 and 1830 PSS-16 enhance

the widely deployed 1830 PSS portfolio by
adding advanced metro-specific features and
capabilities. The multifunction platforms are
optimized for multiservice metro transport
network applications by leveraging AlcatelLucent Photonic Service Engine (PSE)-based
100G technology, scalable distributed switching,
and a highly-integrated, efficient architecture.

Agile and intelligent no-compromise

distributed switching to dynamically
reconfigure network resources and
deploy services
Efficient metro-optimized design featuring
a flexible backplane, high 10G port density
and low power consumption in a compact
footprint
Integrated IP and optical technologies
across the data, management and control
planes to maximize the design and
efficiency of multilayer IP and optical
networks

Benefits
1830 PSS-16

Maximize revenue generation and ROI by

accelerating services availability
Improve network efficiency with increased
performance and reduced space and power
Minimize initial first cost with pay-as-yougrow scaling
Enable rapid instantiation of on-demand,
application-driven network services

The platforms provide the scalability to

support a variety of sub-10G, 10G, 40G or
100G services over 10G/100/200G xWDM
channels; the switching agility and intelligence
to dynamically reconfigure network resources
and deploy services on demand; and a
compact and low-power architecture for
maximum network operational efficiency.
Like all products in the 1830 PSS portfolio,
the PSS-8 and PSS-16 transform a traditional
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
solution into a platform that offers a
versatile transport layer with managed agile
photonics, multi-layer switched services and
network intelligence.
The PSS-8 and PSS-16 extend an already
comprehensive range of applications
and services supported by the 1830 PSS
portfolio, including:
Business services
Mobile and broadband backhaul
Multicast video
Data Center Interconnect (DCI)
Cloud services

With 1830 PSS platforms ranging from access

through converged Optical Transport Network/
wavelength division multiplexing (OTN/
WDM) core to long-haul transport, network
operators can seamlessly grow and optimize
multiservice networks to meet unpredictable
traffic demands in the cloud services era.
The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware
Manager (SAM) provides management for
the 1830 PSS portfolio.
