LUCENT ROLLS OUT ADVANCED DSL PLATFORM.France Telecom to Use Super-High Density and Gigabit Architecture to Deliver Next Generation Broadband Services Lucent Technologies (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : LU) has announced a new super-high density broadband digital subscriber line See DSL. (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and (DSL) solution that enables service providers to increase their subscriber densities by 50 percent and boost the IP performance of their broadband networks - reinforcing that Lucent provides the highest subscriber port density and most cost-effective DSL platform in the industry. The high-density DSL solution includes the new Stinger FS+ chassis, which allows service providers to significantly reduce DSL equipment and power consumption in their central offices where space and power are typically at a premium. The new platform increases the capacity of the Lucent DSL offer by 50 percent, supporting up to 1008 DSL subscribers per chassis and up to 3024 subscribers per rack in both North American (ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. ) and global (ETSI) installations. France Telecom is deploying the new Lucent Stinger solution because it offers the highest subscriber port density currently available. The solution gives France Telecom full IP network integration, video over DSL services and interoperability with currently deployed customer premise equipment (CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment ) in the network. The new solution also provides enhanced asynchronous transfer mode See ATM.

Stinger's integrated switching and routing fabric produces ATM plus IP data forwarding throughput up to 7.2 Gigabits per second. With Gigabit Ethernet and OC-12 bandwidth to the backbone through and through; thoroughly; entirely. - Lord Lytton. See also: Backbone and enhancements such as IP multicast, the new Stinger solution enables high-speed video and data delivery over DSL for service providers. As part of the new Lucent DSL solution along with the Stinger FS+, Lucent also announced support for new 72 port ADSL and SHDSL SHDSL Single-Line High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line SHDSL Symmetrical High-Density Digital Subscriber Line SHDSL Symmetrical High Bitrate Digital Subscriber Line (Ericsson) SHDSL Symmetrical Highspeed Digital Subscriber Loop line modules. These modules operate in the FS+ as well as the Stinger RT and LS systems, improving capacity up to 504 ports in these platforms. With operational compatibility of existing and new line cards between all Stinger chassis, Lucent provides an easy migration path to customers looking to increase system capacity and performance without upgrading to entirely new platforms. |
