Alcatel 7300 ASAM
with Integrated VoDSL Solution
Alcatel's award-winning 7300 ASAM DSL Subscriber Access Platform (ASAM)
simplifies deployment of broadband services like high speed Internet access and
toll-quality voice over digital subscriber line (VoDSL). With its carrier grade
reliability, the 7300 ASAM is an ideal solution for bundled voice and high speed
data services. The 7300 ASAM DSL platform offers superior density and
scalability.
The 7300 ASAM features an integrated VoDSL solution as well as support for
G.shdsl (single pair high bit rate DSL) services.
The 7300 ASAM has the lowest power usage and best performance in the
industry. It supports both full rate and G.Lite ADSL. Service providers can
extend their DSL reach to customers in remote locations with the 7300 ASAM DSL
Remote Access Platform (RAM). This high density platform is temperature hardened
and UL listed, making it ideal for deployment in a digital loop carrier (DLC) or
office park.
Alcatel has integrated the 7300 ASAM, the market leader in the provision of
cost-effective and reliable asymmetric DSL (ADSL) solutions, with a VoDSL
solution. The 7300 ASAM enables mass deployment of revenue generating broadband
services for both business and residential customers - no matter how far they
are from the central office (CO).
Network management for the 7300 ASAM is available using the industry leading
family of Alcatel network and service management products, including the
powerful Alcatel 5620 Network Manager (NM), through a local management port or
remotely using simple network management protocol (SNMP).
New opportunities with VoDSL technology
Simply providing network connections is no longer enough. Service providers
must also deliver those value-added services that will lead to fast revenue
generation. Digital subscriber line (DSL) is the most cost-effective solution
for delivering value-added applications over the last mile to end customers.
VoDSL technology offers service providers new revenue opportunities they can
easily and cost-effectively deploy using their existing DSL infrastructure. With
VoDSL, providers can take advantage of new opportunities while maintaining the
same high service quality and reliability their customers have come to expect.
VoDSL solutions prioritize, multiplex, and transport multiple voice and data
channels over a DSL connection to a gateway interface that provides connectivity
between a data network and the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
Alcatel offers a cost-effective, flexible architecture that easily scales to
meet the demands of a mass market DSL services rollout. Alcatel takes an
end-to-end systems approach to DSL with proven solutions. Alcatel's DSL
solutions allow for the introduction of new network services with a competitive
edge.
Converging voice and data
The 7300 ASAM is at the heart of a converged data and voice world. Together
with an integrated access device (IAD), it merges a quality of service (QoS)-based
broadband data access network with voice networking.
Bundled, cost-effective service offerings
The 7300 ASAM allows providers to deliver bundled local, long distance, or
multi-line telephone services with Internet access to a variety of customers
from small- and medium-sized businesses to residential users over a single
copper pair. The 7300 ASAM leverages the investments already made in local
exchanges, ATM switches, and digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAMs)
- without the need to change the end user equipment already in place. With
Alcatel's VoDSL solution, a carrier can provide a business with ten toll quality
telephone lines, and high-speed Internet access, over one DSL line. An added
benefit is that dynamic bandwidth allocation automatically increases the amount
of bandwidth available for data applications when end users are not using
bandwidth for voice calls.
Scalability
Alcatel's VoDSL technology offers providers scalability while minimizing
their incremental investment. The scalable configuration of the 7300 ASAM allows
providers to envisage a "pay as you grow" strategy. In a minimum
configuration, the 7300 ASAM delivers the capability of handling eight E1
interfaces, or 240 simultaneous calls to a local exchange. Providers can extend
the system up to eight cards or 64 E1/1,920 active calls, allowing them to
connect up to 8,000 business phones (1 to 4) or 20,000 residential phones (1 to
10). Embedded digital signaling processors (DSPs) implement voice compression
for optimal bandwidth usage, allowing providers to grow their network seamlessly
and cost-effectively.
True circuit-switched voice quality
Calls made using VoDSL technology are indistinguishable from traditional
circuit-switched telephone calls in terms of voice quality. From a user
perspective, there is no difference between a voice call over the traditional
PSTN and a voice call over a DSL access network compliant with ATM forum loop
emulation service (LES) using ATM Adaptation Layer 2 (AAL2).
Designed to ITU-T (Telecommunication Standardization Sector, International
Telecommunication Union) and ATM Forum AAL2 standards, the 7300 ASAM guarantees
true transparent PSTN (analog voice, digital voice, fax, and modem) and ISDN
services for the end user while offering high quality voice services and
value-added local exchange features. Users can experience true circuit switched
voice quality and continue to receive the reliability they have come to expect.
Alcatel, your partner for VoDSL solutions
Alcatel is the right partner in the design and implementation of a VoDSL
network. Alcatel is the only company in the industry with extensive experience
in the deployment of both voice and DSL access networks. Designed to meet the
reliability, availability, and scalability of carrier class telephone equipment,
Alcatel's VoDSL solutions allow for the introduction of new network services
with a competitive edge - exactly what service providers are looking to offer.
