Product Name: Alcatel-Lucent 7300 Advanced Services Access Manager (ASAM) -- ETSI Version

Product Description

The Alcatel-Lucent 7300 ASAM offers high density with low power consumption and provides a direct connection to ATM or Ethernet network, using the Fast Ethernet Network Termination (FENT) card. The FENT provides a secure, standards-compliant approach that meets the needs of metropolitan and rural subscribers. 

The Alcatel-Lucent 7300 ASAM features a multi-ADSL line card for plain old telephone service (POTS). With multi-ADSL, service providers can deploy multiple types of asymmetric DSL (ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2plus, and READSL2) from a single DSLAM within the central office. Further, the granularity of the service offering is on per-port basis. Individual lines can be configured at run-time for an individual user profile and the connected CPE. As customers' needs change, the service provider can easily migrate a customer from one type of ADSL to another. 

The Alcatel-Lucent 7300 ASAM also allows service providers to take advantage of two new technology enhancements associated with ADSL2: bonding and Annex M. ADSL bonding increases the bandwidth available to some customers during peak periods and enables the delivery of some IP video services. ADSL bonding also extends the reach of the DSL service and enables the delivery of symmetric business services. Annex M offers the option to boost upstream capacity, allowing service providers to target customers who are require a symmetric-like service (e.g., business customers and teleworkers).

Company Details

Formed from the merger of Alcatel and Lucent Technologies, Alcatel-Lucent combines two entities that share a common lineage that can be traced back to 1986, when Alcatel’s parent company, CGE (la Compagnie Générale d’Electricité), acquired ITT’s... more
