The Alcatel-Lucent 3600 MainStreet is ideal for access networks that support multiple time division multiplexing (TDM) services (leased lines, voice, data, and voice compression) and packet/cell services (ATM, frame relay, voice over frame relay (VoFR) and X.25).

The 3600 MainStreet can be used to concentrate circuit-switched, packet- and cell-based voice and data traffic; to offer leased line services - from subrate to 2 Mb/s (n*64 kb/s); as an international gateway, providing E1/T1, E3/T3 and ISDN interfaces with signalling and superate conversion, line and circuit grooming and voice compression; as a low- to medium-capacity 3/0 and 1/0 digital access and cross-connect system (DACS); or as an intelligent channel bank.

The Alcatel-Lucent 3600+ MainStreet is ideal for access networks that support multiple services, including packet and time division multiplexing (TDM) with the requirement for connection to higher speed fibre optic backbones and metropolitan area networks/wide area networks (MANs/WANs).

The 3600+ MainStreet supports a diverse set of access technologies including TDM (leased lines, voice, data, and voice compression); packet/cell (asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame relay, voice over frame relay (VoFR), and X.25); and synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) (linear interface (STM-1/OC-3), 1+1 interface (STM-1/OC-3), unidirectional path switched ring (UPSR) ring mode (STM-1/OC-3)).

The carrier-class, packet-based Alcatel-Lucent 7270 Multiservice Concentrator (MSC) provides a proven single-service or multi-service broadband traffic aggregator and convergence platform. It is capable of delivering managed Internet protocol (IP), voice and video, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), cell relay and frame relay, as well as circuit-emulation services (CES) over traditional time division multiplexing (TDM) and synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) facilities. This edge platform is ideal for 2G/3G mobile, and fixed wireless traffic, and enables traditional managed data, broadband wireless, Ethernet and IP services.

The carrier-class, packet-based Alcatel-Lucent 7470 Multiservice Platform (MSP) provides a proven single-service or multi-service broadband traffic aggregator and convergence platform. It is capable of delivering managed Internet protocol (IP), voice and video, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), cell relay and frame relay, as well as circuit-emulation services (CES) over traditional time division multiplexing (TDM) and synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) facilities.

This edge platform is ideal for 2G/3G mobile, fixed wireless, and DSL traffic, and enables traditional managed data, broadband wireless, Ethernet and IP services.

The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Network Manager (NM) is a reliable and scalable network management solution. It provides network operators with a full range of configuration capabilities on multi-technology networks.

Traffic and service parameters on frame relay, ATM, X.25, SONET/SDH and ISDN links and paths can be configured through a point-and-click graphical user interface.
The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 NM allows multiple operators to simultaneously access the same system, and thus manage the network from different sites. Management activities can be tailored by customizing or restricting views of the network for different operators.
