ALCATEL-LUCENT IPU3AC9EAA Communication Module

Product manual:

The ALCATEL-LUCENT IPU3AC9EAA communication module is a key component in Alcatel Lucent (now a subsidiary of Nokia) network equipment,
Usually used in high-performance communication systems. The following are possible product reference areas and functional features:

1. Main application areas
(1) Carrier grade IP/MPLS network
Core router/switch: may be used for Alcatel Lucent 7750 SR/7950 XRS series routers,
As an interface processing unit (IPU), responsible for high-speed packet forwarding and traffic management.

Edge Network: Provides multi service access in business edge routers (such as 7450 ESS)
(such as enterprise dedicated lines, mobile backhaul).

(2) Optical Transmission and Broadband Access
OTN/DWDM system: used as a control or interface module in optical transmission equipment,
Support high bandwidth wavelength services.

GPON/XGS-PON： Possible at OLT (Optical Line Terminal)
Handle uplink interfaces or management functions.

(3) Mobile network infrastructure
4G/LTE/5G backhaul: an interface module for mobile backhaul (IP-RAN) devices,
Support low latency and high-throughput transmission.

Base station controller: may be integrated with radio access network (RAN) devices to manage communication between base stations.

(4) Enterprise and Data Center Network
Data Center Interconnection (DCI): Supports high-capacity data exchange,
Suitable for cloud service providers or large enterprises.

SD-WAN solution: As a high-performance interface module, optimize wide area network traffic.

2. Functional characteristics (speculated)
Interface type: may support high-speed Ethernet (10G/40G/100G)
OTN (such as 100GbE over OTU4) or CPRI (for wireless fronthaul).

Protocol support: Compatible with carrier level protocols such as IP/MPLS, Segment Routing, VPLS, etc.

Redundancy design: Supports hot plugging to meet carrier grade high reliability (99.999% availability).

3. Typical equipment compatibility
The IPU3AC9EAA module may be used for the following Alcatel Lucent Classic equipment series:

7750 Service Router (SR)

7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS)

7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS)
