Does your business plan require
cost-effective, fast, broadband access? Are
you frustrated by a lack of acceptable
alternatives to gain high-speed connections
to your target customers? Put the local
access bottleneck behind you and get the
bandwidth you need – on demand.
Lucent Technologies' OnDemand Wireless Access system
is designed to get you to market faster and more
cost-effectively than ever before. The OnDemand system
operates at speeds up to 45 Mbps per link over the air –
immediately opening the door to the future for all your
metropolitan customers.
OnDemand is a highly dynamic, point-to-multipoint, fixed
wireless access network designed for service providers who
own spectrum between 10 and 42 GHz. Whether you're
expanding into new markets or looking for a lower-cost,
higher-speed alternative to existing distribution options,
Lucent Technologies can design and build an OnDemand
network solution tailored for you. OnDemand Wireless
Access is the quick deployment choice you can take to the
bank.

Make the most of your spectrum and system investment
Lucent Technologies understands the
importance of efficient networks. Network
operators want their spectrum and hardware
to be utilized fully throughout the day, not
just during busy periods. And these same
operators want to buy systems that can
scale as the market's capacity demand
grows. That's the reason OnDemand was designed with
efficiency and scalability in mind.
Using state-of-the-art technologies – a point to multipoint
architecture that shares hub costs over a broad customer
base, an Asynchronous Transfer Mode-based (ATM) Time
Division Multiple Access (TDMA) air interface for optimal
bandwidth management, and programmable modulation
schemes for easy capacity upgrades – OnDemand delivers a
technology combination that is unparalleled for
high-capacity access.
What's so important about an ATM-based TDMA system
design? This system design allows you to share capacity
among your customers. By dynamically allocating
bandwidth in increments as small as one ATM packet,
OnDemand's highly efficient, contention-management air
interface distributes bandwidth to customers in real time, as
they need it. That means you're always maximizing
capacity usage.
Our programmable modulation feature helps ensure that
you'll get the most out of your spectrum and your capital.
This feature allows you to provision extra capacity remotely
and allows you to meet growing bandwidth needs without
having to visit the customer site, change hardware, or use
more spectrum. The end result is that you can put more
customers on the system and more money in your pocket.
And your customers will be happy too, since they get the
bandwidth they need when they need it – that's real
broadband on demand.

Efficiently handle bursty traffic
Customers don't typically use their data connections at the
same rate all day every day. And although peak rates rarely
last for sustained periods, these rates are growing as
Internet and intranet applications become mission critical
for more and more businesses. Handling bursty traffic is
easy with OnDemand's real-time, dynamic,
contention-management air interface. Wireline and other
point-to-point architectures can't provide the same bursting
capabilities without dedicating expensive, underutilized
resources to individual customers. With OnDemand, you're
positioned to dominate the growing data market by offering
unique services that today's networks just can't.
Lower deployment costs
Facing network construction costs is daunting. Digging and
trenching add up – especially when you're not sure where
your next customer will be located. OnDemand requires no
digging and no collocation agreements. You can save on
costs and help increase revenues with OnDemand.

Provide a modular hardware architecture
The OnDemand system
reduces initial hardware
requirements by scaling
in direct proportion to
the number of customers being served.
Investments aren't committed until you have
customers. This flexible architecture is not only a better
way to manage expenses, but it also allows you to be more
responsive to market developments. As more customers are
added, you simply add new modules to your network. In
addition, you can accommodate growth at customer
locations by daisy chaining Customer Service Systems
(CSS) to serve multiple users from a single Customer
Outdoor Unit (CODU).
return
Support multiple services
Not only are our Customer Service Systems scalable, they
also provide a complete set of integrated service interfaces.
Whether your customers want data or voice services, you'll
have them all built right in – Frame Relay, IP (Internet
Protocol), 10Base-T/100Base-T, T1/E1, and fractional
T1/E1. This broad range of service interfaces reduces your
hardware and operational costs. Since the CSS service
interface ports are software configurable, your customer
platform investment is protected. You'll be able to change
your service mix at any time – allowing you to respond
quickly as your customers' needs evolve.
And back at the hub or central office, combine OnDemand
with our AnyMedia™ platform, and you have the ability to
use wireline access alternatives, such as xDSL (Digital
Subscriber Line) or fiber. With this remote broadband
access system, the power of Lucent Technologies is behind
you, providing you with concentrating, open interfaces to
circuit switches and extended reach to customers
anywhere.
Enable intelligent operations and maintenance
Do all these advanced features sound
difficult to manage? Not with
OnDemand. Network management is
easy and efficient when you're able to
manage a major metropolitan area
with any Web-based browser from
any location. The OnDemand
Operations and Maintenance System (OMS) is a
standards-based solution that conforms to the
Telecommunications Management Network architecture –
protecting your investment for the future.
Evolve to support higher capacity
In the future, we are introducing additional dynamic
features. For example, dynamically adjusted modulation
helps ensure that OnDemand will be able to optimize
throughput. The system automatically selects the optimal
modulation scheme to preserve link performance and
bandwidth requests. This capability translates directly into
more revenue-generating capacity for the same amount of
hardware and the same amount of spectrum. Our plans also
include integrating switching functions into the host
platform, as well as enhancing customer equipment to
support higher capacity services – all at lower costs.
