The Alcatel-Lucent 7302/7330 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) is a fullservice, high-capacity access
node, designed to deliver a superior service experience to all subscribers in DSL,
GPON or point-to-point fiber networks. ISAM 7302 and ISAM 7330 have exactly the same features, the only difference is size 7302 is a 16-slot platform and 7330 is an 8-slot platform. The Alcatel-Lucent 7302/7330 ISAM Release 4.2 is the third-generation IP DSLAM for application-enabled access, which goes far beyond the first generation (Internet access) and second generation (residential triple play access). It is designed to meet requirements of the third wave of broadband access evolution: Residential, mobile and business applications converge on a single IP/Ethernet/MPLS access platform Application and subscriber intelligence to extract more value from the network Mass-market FTTx that deliver 50 Mb/s and beyond The Alcatel-Lucent 7302/7330 ISAM platform enables service providers to deploy any service, any deployment model, and any technology. The availability of point-to-point, GPON and DSL access technologies on the same platform gives full flexibility to operators to deploy access technology that best fits their deployment scenarios. Operators are not locked in a certain technology, but can choose to deploy different options based on technoeconomics, local regulations or offered services. In addition, by having one unique platform, operators can benefit from reduced CAPEX/OPEX (no need to invest in different dedicated platforms, reduced inventory, streamlined operations). For operators with ISAM 7302/7330 installed base, Release 4.2 will bring the possibility for smooth evolution to Next Generation Fiber Access, with lower CAPEX/OPEX investments. The ISAM Release 4.2 brings higher capacity and increased density line cards, serving more subscribers from one platform while providing high bandwidth throughput. It is the first high-capacity DSL platform on the market, delivering up to 50 Mb/s per subscriber with the new high-capacity VDSL2 line card and controller. Bonding can increase the reach/rate even more.
