Service Delivery Architecture (TPSDA).
The new enhancements enable consumers and business partners to choose the “quality of experience they want, for the content they care about and at a price they are prepared to pay.”
Considered to be the next generation blue print for triple play infrastructure, Alcatel-Lucent’s TPSDA represents a, “significant upgrade from first-generation broadband network solutions” by providing distributed, fine-grain policy enforcement with centralized policy control to deliver multiple services to subscribers, according to the company.
The multiple-services include managed services such as IPTV
and voice as well as unmanaged services such as High Speed Internet (HSI).
The new features added include new hardware and software enhancements for Alcatel-Lucent’s Service Router portfolio. Company officials said that the new features will enable service providers to offer their subscribers an expanded portfolio of broadband content and applications.
The hardware and software enhancements to the Alcatel-Lucent Service Router Portfolio are IOM3-XP; Application Assurance-Integrated Services Adaptor (AA-ISA); High-Scale Media Dependent Adaptor (HS-MDA (
