I used to be part of an organization responsible for the quoting and deployment of Alcatel-Lucent Omniswitches on customer networks. Mainly focused on dedicated Hw appliances connected to either a SIP Trunk or PRI/BRI/Analog lines. 

Manufacturing environments or areas where ntw connectivity was not so strong were strongly looking for solutions like this one as it gave them the agility to avoid being controlled on whether the data connection was working.

Local Branch out
Segregation between data and PSTN traffic
DECTs and in warehouses mobility solutions

Being provided in Cloud environments
Out of the VPN connection and service usage
limited reach when using DECT antennas.

Cloud platforms have a quicker rollout of new functionalities rather than a dedicated appliance
high initial OPEX which may require financing solutions vs Cloud platforms is most of times a no brainer in favour of Cloud
Fewer companies support Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch, thus it may be difficult to manage and support it on the medium to long term

The model we use is the OS6900-X20 which has 20 10GbE SFP+ ports. This switch connects to Core Central which is located in the matrix.
