The 7342 Intelligent Services Access Manager Fiber to the User (ISAM FTTU) system represents access at its best in an Ethernet/IP-based passive optical networking system with 2.5 Gb/s per PON, enabling service providers to realize ultra-broadband and triple play services. The Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU is a robust solution that extends the bandwidth potential of fiber from the network core to the subscriber premise. Service providers now have an unprecedented opportunity to deliver triple play services (voice, video and data) with a leading, standards-compliant gigabit passive optical networking (GPON) solution. The 7342 ISAM FTTU leverages GPON technology to multiplex any mix of voice, video or data in the central office onto a single fiber that is terminated at the subscriber premise. Each PON line supports 2.5 Gb/s downstream and 1.2 Gb/s upstream within up to 28dB optical reach. In addition to GPON performance, the PON can serve up to 64 residential or business endpoints. As a comprehensive integrated solution, the 7342 ISAM FTTU has the flexibility to deliver RF video, IPTV, data, legacy and next generation voice all on one platform. This is an ideal solution to satisfy customer demand for television, broadband Internet access, and voice. Service providers can start with a minimal investment and scale the system as they add more subscribers, increasing revenue opportunities while reducing capital outlay and operational costs. The Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM FTTU also capitalizes on Alcatel-Lucent's leadership in broadband access and shares common components with Alcatel-Lucent's market-leading ISAM platform, enabling reuse of network deployment models and management systems.
