Universal Access - All-IP broadband everywhere

The Alcatel-Lucent High Leverage Network™ (HLN) architecture enables you to deliver broadband to everyone, anywhere and on any device. Our universal access solutions enable fixed and mobile broadband access that use the latest innovations in wireline and wireless broadband access technologies.

Deploy next generation access
HLN provides wireline broadband access using a common, all-IP access platform that supports the latest DSL and fiber technologies to deliver scalable access bandwidth with embedded intelligence to enable new broadband services. Innovations such as VDSL2 bonding, VDSL2 vectoring and DSL phantom mode help you increase bit rates and extract more value from your copper, while our innovative GPON and next-generation 10G GPON allow you to deploy fiber to dramatically increase access capacity. Our green DSL and efficient PON technology deliver broadband with less power and more efficiency, helping you reduce your carbon footprint.

Enable a Wireless All Around experience
HLN also provides the foundation for our all-IP wireless broadband access solution that lets you provide a Wireless All Around experience using the latest wireless access technologies. Supporting a converged RAN using 2G, 3G and 4G LTE technologies and the latest lightRadio™ and small cell femto technology, all-IP wireless access enables you to deliver higher bandwidth and increased coverage to enhance the mobile internet experience for your customers—both indoors and on the move. And our alternative energy solutions for wireless enable you to bring green mobile services to potential new customers in remote and sparsely populated regions.

Ensure open access for all
The converged, all-IP approach to wireline and wireless access used in the HLN architecture helps you to pave the path to next-generation, open-access networks while maximizing ROI from your existing networks. It also provides high capacity while using less space, consuming less energy and demanding less training and software validation—meaning you can offer higher bandwidth to better serve customers at a lower operational cost.

Deliver rich communications and multimedia
Universal access supports the application intelligence you need to deliver competitive broadband services. Combined with HLN IMS Communications capabilities, you can deliver rich communication services, and with our multimedia solutions portfolio you can deliver a personalized multi-screen experience for your subscribers. By leveraging the intelligence and subscriber/service/application awareness built into an HLN, you can enhance services, optimize content delivery and support new business models by partnering with content and application providers.

Manage the connected home
HLN includes a home device management solution that lets you enhance the customer experience for new multimedia and fixed-mobile broadband services. With zero-touch provisioning, automated configuration updates, software upgrades, monitoring, problem diagnosis and troubleshooting, you can simplify all of the management tasks for home devices such as residential gateways, IP set-top boxes, VoIP adapters and femtocell access points. The solution also provides multivendor management capabilities that you can integrate with your existing management and information systems to reduce complexity and risk when deploying next-generation devices and services in the home.
