8 Alcatel-Lucent 1692 Metrospan Edge
The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE sup -
ports point-to-point links and ring
networks with coarse optical add/drop
multiplexer (COADM) technology.
The terminal can support up to
16 wavelengths of unidi rectional
transmission or 4 wave lengths of
one fiber bidirectional transmission.
The back-to-back terminal, which
normally is used as the hub node in
a ring network, can add/drop 16 wave -
lengths. The COADM node can
add/drop 1, 2 or 4 wavelengths for
unidirectional application, while
it adds/drops one channel for a one
fiber bidirectional application. There
are two types of CPE: one channel
CPEs and two channel CPEs; this
provides a cost-effective solution
when the remote network node has
only one channel.
Figure 2 shows a two fiber ring
network.
With the Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE,
data applications are easily imple mented
and network expansions, based on
end-user demand, are sim plified. Easy
to install, operate and maintain, the
Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE allows
enterprise and network operators
to simplify their overall deployment
process, directly improv ing both
CAPEX and OPEX. No amplification
is required for short-haul applications;
however if longer reaches are required,
electrical regen eration can be provided
for distances greater than 80 km.
With temperature-hardened compo -
nents, the Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE
can be installed in virtually any
network environment, from a
basement closet to a central office.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1692 MSE sup -
ports the following network topologies:
• Ring networks
• Point-to-point links
• CPE configuration in point-to-
point links
• CPE configuration in ring networks
