The offering - the WaveStar Wireless Network Solution - uses synchronous optical networking (SONET) and synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) transmission systems that operate at speeds ranging from 155Mb/s to 10Gb/s. The solution also includes dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) systems for networks with even higher bandwidth requirements.
The WaveStar system is designed to provide wireless carriers with the tools they need to create and maintain their own high-capacity, fibre-optic networks to connect base stations and mobile switching centres to long-distance networks. According to Lucent this will be more cost-effective to the carriers which currently mostly lease T1/E1 and T3/E3 copper lines to connect their wireless traffic to the public network.
Lucent will offer a range of professional and operational services to complement the new solution.
