Alcatel 8770 tracking-optie uitlijning

Telecom operators managing dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and optical transport network (OTN) infrastructures rely on the Alcatel 8770 Tracking Option Alignment to maintain precise optical path synchronization across large-scale deployments. This software module integrates with the Alcatel 8770 Optical Network Management System, delivering FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security) capabilities for Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS and 16xx series network elements. It provides real-time monitoring of optical power levels, bit error rate (BER), latency, and traffic statistics, with advanced alarm correlation and root cause analysis to minimize downtime.

Why choose it

The Tracking Option Alignment feature ensures precise optical path optimization, reducing signal degradation and improving network reliability. It is designed for high-capacity optical networks, offering scalability and robust integration with existing OSS/BSS environments. With support for redundant configurations and enterprise databases, it delivers carrier-grade availability and performance.

Ideal use cases

• Telecommunication service providers managing large DWDM/OTN backbones
• Large enterprises with private optical networks
• Data centers requiring high-capacity optical interconnect management
• Network operations centers (NOCs) needing centralized FCAPS management

Good to know

The Alcatel 8770 system is vendor-agnostic in terms of northbound integration, supporting standard protocols like CORBA and TL1. It runs on Linux servers and requires an Oracle database for full functionality. This product is a software license/option and does not include hardware.
