Introduction to the Lucent Technologies
2000 Product Family 1
Lucent Technologies offers the industry's widest range of high-quality
transmission systems and related services designed to provide total network
solutions. The Lucent Technologies 2000 Product Family is designed to help
telecommunications service providers enter a new century of advanced services
and revenue-generating capabilities. The 2000 Product Family complies with the
synchronous optical network (SONET) Standard and builds on items that
customers require to build an efficient and successful network. These items
include bidirectional line-switched ring features and in-service upgrade
capabilities. Bidirectional line-switched ring features almost instantaneously
restore a network if a fiber cut occurs. In-service upgrade capabilities allow a
graceful evolution from today's asynchronous networks to the world-class
intelligent networks of the future. The 2000 Product Family provides broadband
services, a high degree of reliability, and full compatibility with industry standards.
The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System is the high capacity optical carrier level 48
(OC-48) lightwave system in the 2000 Product Family. The 2000 Product Family
also includes the DDM-2000 Multiplexers, the DACS III-2000 Cross-Connect
System, the DACS IV-2000 Cross-Connect System, ITM XM, CPro-2000,
ITM SNC, the
