Alcatel-Lucent 1532 Copper Line Access Switch (CLAS) Hybrid Packet/TDM Platform
Alcatel-Lucent 1532 Copper Line Access Switch (CLAS) Hybrid Packet/TDM Platform
The Alcatel-Lucent 1532 Copper Line Access Switch (CLAS) enables carriers to deploy carrier class Ethernet and TDM to business sites and 2G/3G base station sites that are currently only served by copper connectivity. It is a hybrid Packet/TDM platform offering flexible, resilient transport of both Ethernet and TDM traffic by delivering native Ethernet traffic simultaneously with native TDM traffic over the same bonded copper connection. The 1532 CLAS supports the widely deployed E1/T1 and Ethernet-in-the-First-Mile (EFM), enabling a smooth migration from a traditional TDM to a new-generation network. The platform offers symmetrical bandwidths and services at rates up to 480 Mb/s over a bonded link of 32 copper pairs. High-end Ethernet and TDM services can be delivered over voice-grade copper at full carrier serving area (CSA) distances and beyond.
