Mobile NGN

With an intelligent, integrated network architecture, Alcatel-Lucent Converged Service Control offers more capacity, on a smaller footprint, using less power, compared to previous solutions.

Mobile NGN Solution offers 69% footprint reduction, 74% power reduction, 72% weight reduction, 50% fewer nodes
IMS Solution occupies 96% less space and uses 91% less power than TDM solutions of only a decade ago
Standard platforms across multiple products allows for product co-residency and flexibility in configuration further enabling footprint and power savings, as well as providing operators savings in the areas of training, spares, etc.
Smarter design improves component life expectancy and enables greater reuse of equipment

Eco-savings with Alcatel-Lucent's IMS solution

Compared to traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM) architectures, IMS architectures consume considerably less electricity and occupy less space. As part of a High Leverage Network, the Alcatel-Lucent IMS Solution provides converged session control, policy management and services management – resulting in additional cost reductions.
