Build a better base for business
Evolving the network is inevitable. Whether the challenge is exploding bandwidth or exploding costs, improving the customer experience or gaining a competitive edge, the solution starts with the network.
Alcatel-Lucent network solutions are based on a High Leverage Network™ (HLN) architecture. This scalable architecture delivers the flexibility needed to tackle immediate challenges and set the stage to take advantage of new opportunities. Our network solutions are built for today, ready for tomorrow.
Address the Bandwidth
Explosion
Accelerate to 100G
Managing the exabyte flood of traffic on core networks requires a game-changing approach. The unique combination of our industry-leading 100G optics and 100G Ethernet minimizes the cost per bit and optimizes efficiency across the network. Evolve to 100G to profitably meet rising demands for bandwidth.
Put LTE to work
An efficient and risk-free migration from 2G and 3G networks to LTE and all-IP addresses future mobile broadband needs. Use LTE to increase capacity, reduce the cost per megabit and create a service-aware infrastructure for advanced mobile broadband services.
The value of a High Leverage Network™ (HLN) Architecture
The Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs business modeling team has quantified the business benefits of an HLN architecture. No matter which challenges you need to address first, an HLN can help. Learn more
Increase capacity and save money
An Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs case study confirms that an integrated IP and optical backbone offers considerable savings compared to expensive core network upgrades. Overall, the integrated approach delivers average CAPEX savings of more than 30 percent. Power savings of up to 50 percent and OPEX savings up to 35 percent can also be achieved. Find out how
Meet escalating demand
Applications, such as peer-to-peer social networking, online video sharing and multiplayer gaming, are straining fixed access networks. Turn to a next-generation access network based on FTTX, PON and the latest DSL innovations to gain the flexibility needed to deploy fiber while extracting more value from existing copper.
Eliminate the guesswork, minimize the risk
Addressing the bandwidth explosion means breaking down traditional barriers and harmonizing wireless, IP and optical technology and services assets. Take advantage of network optimization services and transformation expertise to plan the best path forward, accelerate and de-risk implementations, and optimize operations and life-cycle management.
Boost backhaul
Mobile broadband drives the demand for backhaul capacity. Evolve to any-G wireless transport networks for all-IP mobile backhaul that increases capacity and lowers costs. Better backhaul preserves the reliability and QoE that people expect today and will rely on tomorrow.
Strengthen the core
Bring massive scalability and high performance to the heart of 2G, 3G and 4G LTE networks. Deploy an ultimate wireless packet core. This all-IP service-aware packet core meets the stringent requirements of LTE as well as 2G to 3G renovation and expansion requirements.
Green networks grow businesses
Networks today must be eco-sustainable and efficient. An HLN provides scalable bandwidth and network intelligence to transport traffic at the lowest cost per bit and streamline service delivery. The network becomes more efficient and its carbon footprint becomes smaller. Learn more
Transform network
cost structure
Converge the backbone
Legacy transport networks don’t make the best use of IP resources or optical bandwidth. Increase capacity with a converged backbone that tightly integrates the IP and optical domains. A converged backbone increases the scalability and performance of the core network while improving operational efficiency.
Get more edge for the money
Multiple services have created multiple silos that increase complexity and cost. Deploy an all-IP service edge to collapse multiple service silos onto common platforms. It provides the flexibility and granularity needed to simplify service deployment and accelerate time-to-revenue.
Optimize content delivery
Give consumers video-rich content with an on-net Content Delivery Network (CDN). An on-net CDN streams content from caches at the network edge, reducing the cost of backbone transport. Sourcing content closer to consumers increases QoE, opening the door to new revenue.
Green the network
Energy efficiency, a smaller carbon footprint and eco-sustainability are key focus areas. A High Leverage Network architecture is integrated, holistic and efficient, employing fewer devices to do more with less — less power, less space and less cooling — for an eco-sustainable choice.
Enhance the customer
experience
Build for a wireless future
Pave the way to wireless broadband, advanced services and an open ecosystem of devices and applications. End-to-end LTE and small cells build for the future by delivering a really great customer experience, anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Deliver groundbreaking experiences
Groundbreaking experiences rely on more advanced network capabilities. An HLN architecture provides capabilities that open the door to new opportunities, such as mobile advertising and multi-screen services. It also means network capabilities can be securely exposed to application and content providers. This leads to even more compelling experiences.
Provide anytime, anywhere access
Customers expect high QoE anytime, anywhere, from any device. Support wireless all around and open access for all to optimize the delivery of advanced services to any device using any type of access — anywhere and anytime — with low total cost of ownership (TCO).
Beat the
competition
Develop new business models
Winning means delivering the services, content and QoE that end users want. Provide the foundation for application enablement to benefit from new business models and new partnerships. The results: Faster time to market for advanced services and faster ROI.
Grow revenue
Different types of communications have different value to customers. A High Leverage Network architecture has the service, application and subscriber intelligence in the network to generate new revenue. It delivers application-assured communications with higher quality of service (QoS) and QoE.
