ALS Series provides Native IP and Native

PDH and SDH connections; it is the ideal
solution for a wide range of applications
in access networks and backbone areas,
covering any market segment ranging
from cost-sensitive applications to
advanced network implementations in
which high capacities, complex protection
schemes and excellent reliability are
mandatory.

Its superior mix of Packet and TDM

interfaces allows easy network evolution
from pure TDM to pure IP.

A complete range of user interfaces

(E1, Gigabit/Fast Ethernet and STM1) and a
high degree of versatility allow very easy
network planning and management.

ALS series includes nodal configuration for

crowded stations where many different
hops are converging; it allows a drastic
reduction of equipment complexity both
in terms of units counts and physical
connections.

ALS is available in all frequency bands

from 4 to 42 GHz in single or duplicated
configuration, with Gbps radio capacity.
XPIC functionality is available for high
capacity cross-polar implementations.

NODAL CONFIGURATION
In a Nodal Station the cross-connection functiona-
lity can be distributed over a configuration of up
to eight different IDUs, and each one can manage
up to two different ODUs (depending on IDU type).
Connections among IDUs are ring protected. Failing
one IDU, no other IDU in the node is affected by
loss of traffic.
Thanks to the IDU scalable approach and user
friendly software management, it is possible to
NODAL BUS SOLUTION
build up a nodal configuration through incremental
High speed protected nodal bus, the unique nodal
expansions (from one up to twelve or sixteen solution to build complex nodes up to 16 indipendent
different directions) with a reduced initial investment. directions with a full pay-as you grow approach.
