Alcatel’s 3600+ MainStreet Multiservice Bandwidth Manager builds on the highly successful
architecture of the 3600 MainStreet Multiservice Bandwidth Manager and provides a scalable
option to meet the increasing demand for multiple services and higher bandwidth on a single
platform. In addition to offering all the capabilities of the 3600 MainStreet, the 3600+ MainStreet
offers fiber optic and electrical interfaces at STM-1/OC-3 speeds. The 3600+ MainStreet supports
a wide range of circuit- and packet-based voice and data services. It is fully compatible with
the 3600 MainStreet, providing seamless integration into existing networks and protecting
equipment investment.

The 3600+ MainStreet is ideal for access networks that support multiple services including
packet and TDM with the requirement for connection to higher speed fiber optic backbones
and MAN/WAN networks.

It supports a diverse set of access technologies including:
▼ Packet/cell: ATM, frame relay, voice over frame relay (VoFR),
X.25, IP (via NTU)
▼ TDM: leased line, legacy voice and data, voice compression
▼ SDH/SONET: linear interface (STM-1/OC-3), 1+1 interface
(STM-1/OC-3), UPSR ring mode (STM-1/OC-3)
The multiservice nature of the 3600+ MainStreet is depicted
in Figure 1.
Architecture
The 3600+ MainStreet switch is entirely self-contained. It has
two switching matrices, a narrowband DS0-based matrix and a
broadband TU/VT switching matrix. Both are fully nonblocking
with total available narrowband bandwidth of 448 Mb/s and
broadband matrix of 620 Mb/s. Traffic from the narrowband
matrix can be mapped into the broadband matrix for delivery
to the network via STM-1 or OC-3. Both of these matrices are
optional modules that can be added to the system control card.
The 3600+ MainStreet can operate as a purely narrowband node
or function as both a narrowband and broadband switch.
All narrowband interface cards plug directly into the front
of the 3600+ MainStreet and are hot-swappable. The 3600+
MainStreet offers 16 Mb/s per universal card slot (UCS) that
allows for higher speed interface cards such as the octal E1/T1
card. This gives the 3600+ MainStreet the capacity to have
up to 128 E1/T1 in a single shelf. The 3600+ MainStreet also
supports all existing 3600 MainStreet voice, data, aggregate
and resource cards.
In addition to the UCS that are found on both the 3600
MainStreet and 3600+ MainStreet, the 3600+ MainStreet has
three pairs of high speed aggregate (HSA) slots. These slots have
both narrowband and broadband connectivity. The HSA slots are
