The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Ethernet Service Switch makes it easier for business networks to connect individual hosts or segments while organizing operational priorities efficiently. Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS was explicitly created for the delivery of business and triple play services, with MPLS as an essential factor of its service-oriented construction.

This revolutionary design allows service providers more services at a faster pace. It is the industry’s most advanced MPLS-enabled Carrier Ethernet platform providing high-speed service delivery and high-density service aggregation at the Carrier Ethernet service edge. The combination of Ethernet economics and MPLS control creates benefits for service providers. The bandwidth is allocated across WAN and access circuits to avoid a best-effort basis that doesn’t always work effectively.

Alcatel-Lucent provides a solution that enables service providers to respond to these communication challenges with Ethernet-based business services, such as virtual private LAN services (VPLS) and virtual leased line (VLL). The 7450 ESS is a member of the industry-leading Service Router product portfolio and runs the Service Router Operating System (SR OS) and is managed by the 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM) for seamless integration into IP/MPLS solutions from Alcatel-Lucent.
