About This Part
This Alcatel-Lucent module is an advanced ATM/IP interface card engineered for high-capacity service routers or switches. It facilitates the transport of both Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Internet Protocol (IP) traffic over optical networks. Such cards are critical for service providers and large enterprises requiring robust, multi-service transport capabilities. Typical use cases include connecting core network elements, providing high-speed uplinks, or aggregating various types of traffic (voice, video, data) within a telecom or data centre environment. Its multi-rate support ensures flexibility in network design and scalability. The module supports multiple optical carrier rates, specifically OC3c (155 Mbps) and OC12c (622 Mbps) in SONET, and their SDH equivalents, STM-1 (155 Mbps) and STM-4 (622 Mbps). The "Multi-Rate8" designation suggests it offers multiple ports or configurable rate options, enabling versatile deployment across different network segments. Its dual ATM/IP capability allows for seamless integration into hybrid networks, supporting legacy ATM infrastructure while migrating towards IP-centric services. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing high-quality used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment. This Alcatel-Lucent ATM/IP Multi-Rate8 module represents a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to expand or maintain their existing Alcatel-Lucent infrastructure without the expense of new hardware. By offering such critical components, Revo helps clients optimize their operational budgets while ensuring network reliability and performance.
