Lucent PortMaster 4 Leasing Program

(available in U.S. and Canada only)



The PortMaster 4 leasing program creates a technology partnership between you and Lucent Technologies. This partnership provides a roadmap to grow your business while minimizing your up-front cash investment and preserving your cash flow.  Backed by the world's most experienced networking company, this aggressive financing program scales as your network grows. When you need to add capacity or as technologies change, your financing coverage can be expanded. No other partnership program offers so much.



The PortMaster 4 for $10 a port per month

The PortMaster 4 leasing program base-configuration includes Chassis, Power Supply, System Manager Module, and two Quad T1/PRI 98-Modem Modules. This configuration supports 192 simultaneous connections and can scale to a full T3 of modems. At $1,920 per month for 36 months, that's only $10 per port per month. (Rate subject to qualification. Slightly higher in Canada. Program available in U.S. and Canada only.)



Ready access to additional capacity and emerging technologies

We call the PortMaster 4 leasing program "future proof" for several reasons. 

1. Only the PortMaster 4 delivers the next-generation, carrier-class architecture that you need to support the highest density, bandwidth and performance requirements that you can specify. 

2. Start with the base configuration and add capacity as your need grows. This is the only program available that enables you to expand your financing coverage this way. 

3. The program's trade-up provision will allow you to swap out the modules that you use today for others supporting such emerging technologies as Voice over IP, VPN and more.
