Mutiplexer Compact
Cost-effective and compact
STM-1/4 multiservice metro access

Alcatel-Lucent 1645 AMC Access Mutiplexer Compact2
The Alcatel-Lucent 1645 Access Multiplexer
Compact (AMC) is a Synchronous Transport Module
1/4 (STM-1/4) platform that allows service providers to
deliver a rich set of cost-effective TDM and Ethernet
services to small and medium enterprises (SME).
Offering enhanced revenue-generating potential
and eliminating the need for overlay networks, it
is energy efficient and compact, improving the
use of space while reducing operating expenditures
(OPEX). Supporting fiber and copper, the 1645 AMC
transports metro and access traffic to the network
edge, using both optical and electrical interfaces.

To be profitable, service providers
must reduce OPEX while meeting
business customers’ demands by of-
fering a host of revenue-generating
Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet
services. Simultaneously, some en-
terprises want to build, operate and
control their own networks.
For the service provider, the 1645
AMC serves as a small-footprint,
SDH multiservice provisioning plat-
form (MSPP) that can be installed
on the customer premises, providing
TDM and Ethernet services. With
versatile and robust management
capabilities, it offers flexible instal-
lation options. Enterprises can use
the 1645 AMC to build and operate
their own optical networks, using
leased or owned fiber.
The 1645 AMC provides flexible,
multiservice access to business
customers and extends Ethernet
services to the metro and access
edges. It also supports fiber and
copper access for SDH, TDM and
Ethernet traffic through both optical
and electrical interfaces.

Fiber business applications
The 1645 AMC offers a powerful
and economical base for fiber-to-the-
business (FTTB) applications. This
compact MSPP aggregates traditional
TDM and Ethernet services over
SDH transport and can operate as
customer premises equipment (CPE)
or network-edge devices. It supports
Ethernet from 10/100 to Gigabit
Ethernet (GigE), TDM from E1 to
E3, SDH and a rich set of STM-1/
4-line and client interfaces.
Providing highly effective solutions
for enterprise network services, the
1645 AMC supports flexible ring
configurations. Services include
Ethernet business services, LAN
and Private Branch Exchange
(PBX) interconnection over fiber,
all services where solid performance
and reliability are essential service
attributes. It can also be used for
interoffice applications in both
access and mobile networks based
on fiber or copper, facilitating
Ethernet local area network
(E-LAN) communication on
campus and in virtual private
networks (VPNs).
No overlay networks
Available in STM-4 configurations,
the 1645 AMC provides a wide range
of interfaces, including private-line
and switched Ethernet capabilities.
It is an economical, multiservice
unit that transports metro and access
traffic over existing SDH networks,
eliminating the need for overlay
networks for Ethernet services.

Enhanced revenue generation,
reduced expenses
The 1645 AMC enhances revenue-
generating capabilities by allowing
service providers to offer services
such as IP transport, Ethernet Layer
2 switching and TDM to customers
with various traffic demands. It
improves OPEX through efficient use
of space in tight environments and
low energy consumption.
Flexible, multiservice
business access
The 1645 AMC provides flexible
multiservice access to business
customers. It supports both ring
or mesh configurations for FTTB
applications in access networks. In
addition to cost-effective enterprise
network services, the 1645 AMC
also offers interoffice applications
in both access and mobile networks
and facilitates LAN-to-LAN
communication on campus and
through VPNs.
The 1645 AMC, an economical,
multiservice device, allows next-
generation services over a legacy
SDH network, leveraging existing
service-provider assets.

centralized alarming. The 1645 AMC
can also be integrated into Simple
Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) management systems.
The 1645 AMC derives fault-man-
agement information by monitoring
and analyzing information contained
in the path overhead of each virtual
container (VC). Alarm information
is filtered and displayed locally while
it is simultaneously transmitted to
the management-center database.
Versatile and robust
management capabilities
Either the Alcatel-Lucent 1350
Optical Management System (OMS)
or a PC-based, Graphical User
Interface (GUI) craft terminal can
be used to manage the 1645 AMC.
When the OMS is deployed, the
1645AMC communicates through an
embedded communications channel.
The PC-based craft interface
can be used for local and remote
management and cost-effective

Performance-management infor-
mation from the overhead bytes is
analyzed and stored in the database
of the 1645 AMC. When equipped
with a Tr a n s L A N ®Card, the 1645
AMC can also store Ethernet-specific
performance information.
The 1645 AMC stores several differ-
ent equipment configurations in its
network management system. This
feature facilitates quick turnaround
for configuration changes.
Service level agreement (SLA) management is available with traffic profiles
that include:

Fiber and copper access options
When fiber access is available, the 1645 AMC can be installed directly as CPE.
If the last mile to the customer must be bridged through copper, the 1645 AMC
provides an SHDSL option card. As a result, E1 over copper or 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet access through up to four combined SHDSL copper lines can be served.
