Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR: Service Aggregation Router - Release 4.0
The Alcatel-Lucent 7705 Service Aggregation Router (SAR) portfolio delivers industry-leading IP/MPLS and
pseudowire capabilities in compact platforms with the ability to reliably groom and aggregate multiple media,
service and transport protocols onto an economical packet transport infrastructure.
FEATURES BENEFITS
Cost-effective migration from E1/T1-based backhaul to economical and flexible Transition from PDH-based connectivity to modern Ethernet and/or IP-based
IP/MPLS-based transport, leveraging Ethernet or ISP network services over a networking infrastructures can greatly reduce recurring operating expenditures
wide range of first mile media such as line lease costs.
Resiliency and redundancy including: One-for-one hitless control and switch Advanced resiliency features lead to improved network uptime, which can
module failover (7705 SAR-8 and 7705 SAR-18), synchronization redundancy, positively impact customer retention and allow critical services to be offered
network uplink resiliency and redundancy of power feeds plus temperature for increased revenue.

Powerful, service-aware OAM capabilities complemented by the Alcatel-Lucent Rapid fault detection and powerful commissioning and troubleshooting tools
5620 management portfolio for GUI-based network and element configuration, can improve productivity of operations staff and reduce network downtime.
provisioning, and fault and performance management
Dense adaptation of multiple converged services onto an efficient economical Multiprotocol and convergence capabilities (with flexible and granular QoS)
packet infrastructure reduce equipment instances needed to carry multiple traffic types. Compact,
energy efficient platforms reduce power and cooling costs.
Extends service routing IP/MPLS dynamic capabilities to the remote site, hubs Modular, flexible architecture alleviates the burden of complex pre-engineering
and network edge in compact form factors with low power consumption and future scenario planning. Compact, rugged form factors allow remote sites
to be addressed.
Breadth of synchronization solutions with flexible operation, redundancy Accurate synchronization allows cost-effective deployment over packet
and independent validation of accuracy infrastructure and improves the user experience (for example, less data loss
and minimal dropped calls in mobile applications).
