D A T A M U L T I P L E X E R | R E L E A S E 8
The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (DMX) integrates Ethernet, storage area network (SAN) and SONET
functionality into a high capacity, compact platform. This combination enables multiservice growth for service
providers from traditional voice/private line services to a hybrid mix of voice/private line, data/packet and SAN
transmission services. For deployment and operational simplicity, it shares common software and many inter-
faces with its compact companion product, the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX
tend
. The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX
and 1665 DMX
tend
are key components of the comprehensive Alcatel-Lucent optical portfolio, providing
end-to-end optical solutions for today’s metro and long-haul networks.
