Compact 2.5G Multiservice Transport Platform for Metro Access

Future-proof metropolitan networks must support today’s access infrastructures at high bit rates, and be highly reliable and able to adapt flexibly to evolving data traffic patterns. Service providers require scalable optical metro platforms that can profitably deliver new broadband data services, and, at the same time, keep supporting cash revenues from traditional voice and leased-line services. The highly resilient capacity of SDH technology, together with the integration of dataaware functionality — ATM and metro Ethernet packet ring switching capabilities based on multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) — make the Alcatel 1662 SMC a compact, cost-effective multitechnology node. The 1662 SMC is ideally targeted for optical metro applications, where size, infrastructure costs, reliability, and new, differentiating data services play the winning role in service providers’ business. The Alcatel 1662 SMC is a compact multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP) at 2.5 G that builds next-generation SDH metro transport networks. The 1662 SMC provides a single-shelf solution that integrates high-class transport functions —SDH cross-connect and CWDM add/drop functionality — together with carrier-class Layer 2packet/cell switching functions — Ethernet, MPLS, resilient packet ring (RPR), and ATM — to support new broadband services such as triple play and video distribution, Ethernet virtual private network (VPN), and 3G mobile aggregation services.

In Line with Customer Demands for Broadband Services

The Alcatel 1662 SMC expands the OMSN product family by introducing a compact solution for STM-4/STM-16 applications with enhanced multitraffic drop capabilities — ideally suited for metro access networks. The Alcatel 1662 SMC features all standard PDH and SDH interfaces from 2 Mb/s to 2.5 Gb/s, including colored STM-16, transponders, and CWDM OADM mux/ demux functions. In addition, it features carrier-class data blades called Integrated Service Adapters (ISAs) that support native packet/cell processing of any mixture of MPLS-enabled Ethernet/RPR and ATM traffic with strict quality of service (QoS) guarantees.

Dense, Carrier-Class, Data-Oriented Transport

The Alcatel 1662 SMC is based on dual STM-4 or STM-16 line interfaces, a 32 x 32 or 64 x 64 fully non-blocking high-order/ low-order SDH matrix, with clock reference and equipment control functions, all concentrated in a 1-slot wide compact ADM card, optionally 1+1 protected. The single-shelf system provides up to six STM-16 interfaces for 2.5 Gb/s ring interconnection. Colored STM-16 interfaces can be used for direct interworking with DWDM systems at lower cost. The equipment shelf has three parts: an area for up to eight I/O boards and two compact ADM cards, and two areas for additional I/O access boards for maximum traffic density and flexibility. The system can be configured as an STM-16 ADM with a termination capacity of up to 504 x 2 Mb drop, or as an STM-16 mini cross-connect with up to 32 x STM-1 tributaries, which can be used to link optical access nodes (Alcatel 1642 EMC or Alcatel 1640 FOX) to large access networks. Multiple subnetwork connection protection (SNCP) rings (up to 16 STM-1 rings) can be terminated within the same node. The SDH cross-connect capacity provides full connectivity at all VC layers for any possible configuration. STM-1, STM-4, and STM-16 interfaces are mounted on plug-in modules that allow a flexible combination of electrical and optical ports (any shortor long-haul type) in the same unit. The Alcatel 1662 SMC has a symmetrical architecture, allowing its application as a terminal multiplexer, ADM, or mini cross-connect in spur, multiple-ring, or mesh topologies. All traffic ports (PDH, Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet [GigE] or SDH) of the same type have the same functionality and behavior and there is no inherent split between tributaries and aggregates. This means that it is possible to cross-connect all traffic ports at all VC levels. The Alcatel 1662 SMC is the ideal solution as a multiservice transport node also due to its resiliency features. In terms of hardware, maximum reliability is achieved by a 1+1 hot stand-by protection mechanism for all common parts and electrical tributary ports. Power supply protection is inherent, as the DC/DC conversion function is distributed on each card. For traffic protection, single-ended linear multiplex section protection (MSP) and SNCP, with the drop-and-continue function, are provided for improved traffic availability. The Alcatel 1662 SMC is able to manage multiple STM-1, STM4, or STM-16 SNCP rings, and up to 2 x 2 fiber STM-16 multiplex section —shared protection rings (MS-SPRings). Collapsed single- and dual-node interconnection is supported for costefficient closure and interconnection of multiple rings. Powered by ISA plug-in blades, the Alcatel 1662 SMC expands its capabilities to become an intelligent multiservice transport platform for data-oriented applications such as Ethernet and ATM. The Alcatel 1662 SMC OMSN paves the way to building unique optical network infrastructures that support optimized transport and integrated networking functions for data applications — metro Ethernet, and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) transport networks, among others. The OMSN family consolidates the extensive experience gathered by Alcatel in optical networks through hundreds of thousands of installations worldwide.

Multiservice Metro Applications

Today flexibility also means the ability to deal effectively with data traffic patterns. The Alcatel 1662 SMC offers operators the ability to deliver several different types of multiprotocol services for the best balance between new broadband data services and high-margin traditional voice and leased-line services. The Alcatel 1662 SMC can be equipped with ISA blades that perform data switching at ATM, Ethernet, MPLS, and packet ring levels. The extensive range of ISA data engines enables operators and service providers to cope with current and future broadband traffic needs over transport networks by enabling multiple-layer convergence in a single node. ISA plug-in blades can be placed in new or previously installed Alcatel 1662 SMCs as add-ons — where and when needed. These blades optimize bandwidth management and reduce both transport infrastructure costs and time-to-market for the introduction of new data services in the network, ultimately reducing both CAPEX and OPEX. The traffic originated and terminated by customer interfaces can be processed by the ISA-ATM or ISA-Packet Ring (PR) switching modules for optimal aggregation and delivery of broadband data services, such as 3G mobile aggregation, Ethernet VPLS, and triple play services, with strict QoS and SLA controls.

ATM Backhauling and 3G Mobile Aggregation

New broadband data applications must rely on an optimized transport network architecture capable of processing data traffic flows at native level. The 3G mobile aggregation application is a key example of how service providers can benefit from the ATM switching integrated into the 1662 SMC. Optimization of network resources for backhauling is important to mobile operators, enabling them to save costs either in operating their own network or in leasing fewer lines from another carrier. The multiservice capability of the Alcatel 1662 SMC equipped with the ISA-ATM blades offers mobile operators a cost-effective solution for 3G mobile aggregation in the UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN). Traditional backhauling of UMTS traffic in the access network is realized using several low-rate leased lines (typically multiples of 2 Mb/s) to collect traffic from the access devices (Node Bs) using SDH transport nodes. This approach does not usually optimize transport efficiency in the access network — it results in under-utilized lines and shifts the complexity toward the UMTS radio network controller (RNC) at the edge of the network. ISA-ATM switching blades can consolidate ATM traffic collected from different Node B access devices onto shared SDH VC resources in STM-n rings, and switch the VP/VC ATM traffic into the network with QoS support at UBR, VBR or CBR levels. In this way, mobile service providers can take advantage of the distributed ATM switching functionality in the 1662 SMC to dramatically increase the efficiency of transport network resources by natively aggregating paying traffic right in the access network. Moreover, the concept of a distributed ATM switching functionality integrated into multiservice SDH transport nodes helps service providers reduce costs for ATM aggregation in the access network, close to the access devices, where the ubiquitous transport network is always available and the cost of expanding the ATM core toward the access is generally higher.

Integrated ATM Switching in the Metro Access Network

Different ATM blades are available for the Alcatel 1662 SMC according to specific capacity and feature needs, ranging from 600 Mb/s to 1.2 Gb/s per blade. Multiple blades can be hosted in the equipment to increase capacity, and 1+1 protection groups are supported. The ATM cards use physical ports located in traffic modules equipped in the OMSN node (PDH or SDH) to switch the relevant payloads at ATM level. Up to 252 ATM logical ports can be configured for each ATM switching blade, allowing the aggregation of several low-rate 2 Mb/s ATM flows into higher-rate payloads. ATM ports support point-to-point and point-to-multipoint PVCs (also called hard-PVCs) and soft PVC connections, with VPC/VCC switching and cross-connection capabilities, as well as PNNI signaling support. Inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA) is also supported to enable link aggregation functions at the UNI/NNI level. Traffic policing, shaping, and congestion control management features are supported to enable a wide range of ATM traffic contracts including UBR, UBR+, CBR, VBR-rt/ nrt, and GFR.2. For increased service manageability, ATM OA&M capabilities provide end-toend fault management and performance monitoring.
