Alestra Selects Lucent Technologies' Advanced Optical Solution

Lucent Technologies announced that Alestra has selected Lucent next-generation optical networking solutions to improve its network capacity and launch new revenue generating services in Mexico.

Under the terms of the agreement, Lucent will supply the Metropolis ADM MultiService Mux, a next-generation multiplexer to help Alestra support new high-speed service offerings including Ethernet private lines, local area networks (LANs), as well as other data services for its Transport Backbone Network. This is the first deployment of the advanced Metropolis ADM (universal shelf) in Latin America.
 
The new multi-service platform will support business and residential customers growing demand for data and IP applications, which require dramatically more bandwidth.
