3Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router
The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR functions as
both a powerful router and a flexible service
delivery platform, and integrates with the
Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager
(SAM) to deliver efficient and streamlined
provisioning, management and billing for
Internet protocol (IP)/multiprotocol label
switching (MPLS) networks.
Global service providers are preparing for the
next wave of residential and business service
deployments. They understand that in order
to be successful they need a service delivery
infrastructure that offers more bandwidth,
delivered flexibly and reliably to more
customers simultaneously, with increased
service level guarantees.
Service providers are increasingly called upon
to offer personalized voice video and data
services that recognize the unique needs of
individual users; that are, in other words, more
“user-centric.” While the past few years have
seen a focus on network and service conver-
gence with an emphasis on killer applications
delivered over a single infrastructure, the
paradigm has shifted to a user-centric focus
that embraces the demand for a customized
and media-rich user experience across multiple
access methods and across applications.
• For the residential market, the need to
deliver broadcast TV and video-on-
demand (VoD) services that meet high
service level agreement (SLA) standards
has introduced an inflection point that
has pushed network service providers to
profoundly rethink their service delivery
architectures. High-speed Internet (HSI)
infrastructures were built around inefficient
business models that focused on cost-per-
subscriber considerations and allowed for
significant oversubscription and service
level leniency. New high-SLA voice and
video applications have very stringent
availability, system characteristics, quality
of service (QoS), multicast and service
requirements. Those requirements can only
be cost-effectively addressed by rethinking
the overall service delivery infrastructure.
