Alcatel-Lucent 7705 Service Aggregation Router Bringing IP/MPLS Benefits to the Mobile Radio Access Network and More…
Overview The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 Service Aggregation Router (SAR) is an edge aggregation platform providing superior IP/MPLS and pseudowire capabilities. It addresses your need for a cost-effective, scalable mobile radio access network (RAN) transport solution. The 7705 SAR excels at concentrating traffic at cell and hub sites, and adapting it to a normalized IP/MPLS infrastructure leveraging available media, especially scalable, cost-effective Ethernet.
Market Requirements Traffic is steadily increasing on mobile networks, as the volume of mobile data and video traffic grows alongside voice. Unfortunately, the revenue per bit is not keeping pace with this growth. To make sure your business remains profitable, you need to find a new networking approach — one that enables you to reduce operating overhead and scale services cost-effectively.
Built to Deliver The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR delivers IP/MPLS and pseudowire capabilities in a high-density, future-proof architecture that will enable you to address evolving aggregation requirements. It is architected to provide superior service delivery through effective provisioning, traffic management, troubleshooting and billing features. The 7705 SAR platform delivers strong convergence capabilities in the mobile RAN.
IP/MPLS RAN Transport A complete Alcatel-Lucent IP/MPLS RAN transport capability can be built around the Alcatel-Lucent IP/MPLS portfolio (see Figure 1). Each product has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that the network you build provides you with unparalleled reliability, so your service offerings stand out in this highly competitive market. In order to provide the most efficient transport solution, the 7705 SAR employs pseudowire (PWE3) encapsulation methods to map services end to end.
T1/E1 Private Line Transport Capability The 7705 SAR can provide a T1/E1 private line capability using circuit emulation over a packet switched network, such as an IP/MPLS network. This can be an example of fixed-mobile network convergence, where the same transformed IP/ MPLS infrastructure can be used for both mobile RAN backhaul and efficient support of legacy private line services.
The Alcatel-Lucent Advantage Alcatel-Lucent offers you a complete, end-to-end solution based on best-inclass IP/MPLS networking products and offers an extensive breadth of services and deployment experience to support the transformation of your mobile RAN. Each product within the solution is right-sized for its job within the network.
