To accommodate the growing scope of network and service requirements, today's switching equipment must deliver the very highest levels of performance, reliability and feature richness. The Lucent Technologies 5ESS®-2000 Switch has demonstrated its ability to do all this -- and more. Which is why over 70 million lines are currently served by 5ESS®-2000 Switches owned by over 70 customers around the globe.

In any switch purchase, economies of scale and accommodation for future growth are key considerations. Consider your potential savings if you could support multiple applications on a single platform . . . or if you could add a new application without having to buy a new switch. More importantly, consider the ability to enhance revenues easily and quickly by deploying new advanced subscriber services in your network. With the 5ESS®-2000 Switch, those cost savings and revenue generating opportunities are indeed yours.

The 5ESS®-2000 Switch can deploy all types and combinations of telecommunications services on a single exchange platform including both wireless and wireline. In addition, the switch supports an extensive range of exchange and network capabilities, including:

• Analogue, mixed analogue/digital or digital lines, including the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
