Alcatel 1000 MM E10Software Releases R24, R25.1 and R25.2

OverviewTo be successful, operators must respond to market pressures and keep ahead of the competition. This is possible by offeringnew services, protecting the current profitablerevenue streams, avoiding subscriber churnwith user-friendly services, and reducingoperational costs. Experience also shows that service offerings are more quicklyadopted when they are promoted within well defined packages.

Today, the Alcatel 1000 MM E10 Next Generation Switch comes complete with an extensive range of services covering a wide array of operator’s and end user’sneeds. In particular recent enhancements to the software releases allow the creation of compelling service packages that willbring more benefits to the end user andsustained revenues for operators.

Release R25.1 Key FeaturesAvailable now, this release provides huge CAPEX and OPEX savings. By directly integrating SDH STM-1 interfaces, the Alcatel 1000 MM E10 takes up less space while connecting directly to an SDH network. As a result the same traffic levels can be handled on a platform with a smaller footprint. For example, when a single SDH board terminates one STM-1 link (the equivalent of 63 E1 links), one SDH-STM-1 high-density unit replaces eight E1 boards.

Release R25.2 Key FeaturesAvailable in Q3 2002, this release offers voice transport savings. Carrying voice traffic over ATM is a major breakthrough that significantly changes the cost/value equation of network consolidation.

The Subscriber Access Unit (CSN) of theAlcatel 1000 MM E10 has been designed fora multiservice and multimedia environment. It is based on a two-tier, concentrating,multisite, multifunction access nodearchitecture that has been widely adopted by the telecommunications industry.

The CSN efficiently extends the reach of aswitch to rural or high-density networks – and everywhere in between. Each CSN can

connect up to 5,120 users, and can belocated anywhere in the network, eithercollocated with the core switch or installed in proximity to remote groups of users.

The concentrator units (CNE) associated witha CSN offer considerable flexibility since theytoo can be collocated with the CSN orinstalled to serve remote users in groups of 64, 256 or 512.

Offer Equal Access to POTS, ISDNand ADSL ServicesThe CSN offers all connected users, whatevertheir location, equal access to POTS, ISDNand ADSL services. The two-tier architectureensures that these subscribers are connectedat the lowest possible cost. The CSN allowsmixing and matching of all existing subscriberboards (POTS, ISDN BRA and ISDN PRA), aswell as the ADSL subscriber board in any ofits universal slots.

Fast Rollout of Broadband ServicesThe integration of ADSL within the CSN offersoutstanding advantages:▼ CAPEX optimization — minimum investment

for low density ADSL areas▼ OPEX reduction — savings in spare parts,

integrated Operation and Maintenance▼ Rollout flexibility — rollout on demand,

fast deployment▼ Cost-effectiveness — plug-to-plug compatible

ADSL/POTS/ISDN boards▼ Easy installation — minimum impact on

main distribution frames▼ State-of-the-art broadband functionality

— full compatibility with the Alcatel ADSLportfolio

Deliver Services with an “Always On” SolutionAlways on/dynamic ISDN (AODI) is thelatest ISDN evolution. It is a networkingapplication that uses the free ISDN D-channelcapacity for packet service to maintain an“always on” connection between an ISDNend user and an Internet service provider(ISP). Time sensitive, low bandwidth demandservices such as sending and receiving e-mails, news feeds, automated datacollection, or credit card verification can use this constant virtual connection at speeds of about 9.6 kb/s.

When extra bandwidth is needed AODIallows for the manual or automatic additionof one or two circuit-switched B-channels of 64 kb/s each (for a total of 128 kb/s). The D-channel is not used for data when theB-channels are opened, but it remains activefor signaling. When the additional bandwidthis no longer required, or if a call is comingin, one or both B-channels are dropped,leaving the D-channel connection in place.

By implementing ISDN and AODI within theirnetwork, service providers can efficiently andeffectively deliver “always on” service —with this new service comes a new revenueopportunity.

Great Flexibility for Broadband Traffic TransportThe CSN’s broadband traffic transportcapability has been designed to offermaximum flexibility to the operator:

STM-1 transport▼ SDH STM-1 155 Mb/s with optical

interface (short haul laser up to 15 km)▼ Always used between CSNs and

broadband access server (BAS) as inversemultiplex ATM (IMA)

▼ Used in case of very high broadband traffic between CSNs and CNEs or betweendifferent CSNs to concentrate broadbandtraffic towards the CSN connected to the BAS

IMA transport▼ Cost-effective for carrying low-to-medium

broadband traffic on existing 2 Mb/s links ▼ Used between CSNs and CNEs, and

between different CSNs, to concentratebroadband traffic towards the CSN housingthe STM-1 link.

▼ 64 kb/s data link card — used to connect up to 4 leased lines and supports64 kb/s codirectional data links (ITU-TRecommendation G.703).

▼ Packet unit card — allows ISDN subscribersto use their access D channel for receiving orsending low rate data using a frame structure.

▼ Any one of these types of cards can be plugged into any line card location in the digital concentrator.

ADSL subscriber line cardThe ADSL line card supports 4-line equipmentand a common control logic. Each portincludes its own splitter and handles bothanalogue POTS and broadband data traffic.

Depending on the length and the quality of the line, the broadband data bit-ratessupported are up to 640 kb/s from ADSLnetwork termination (ANT) to CSN, and up to 8 Mb/s from CSN to ANT. The ADSL linecard separates voice traffic from broadbanddata traffic before transmission of each flowon the appropriate bus in the CSN or CNEback panels.

All the ADSL subscribers are connected to aninternal 155 Mb/s bus running in the backpanel and terminating in an extender board.A 155 Mb/s “daisy chain” enablesmultiplexing of ADSL lines. A transportinterface board terminates the daisy chainand accesses the external transport network.

Two types of transport are implemented:▼ An STM-1 optical link (155 Mb/s)▼ 1 to n IMA PCM links (ATM on 2 Mb/s)

This allows the broadband data flow to beaggregated on the same link towards the ATM backbone.
