Key Features and Benefits

• Modular, flexible, intelligent interface processors

– Flexible design allows mixing and matching of interface types on the same interface processor for consistent services, independent of access technology.

– Programmable interface processors provide flexibility for the service diversity required in next-generation networks.

– Innovative design provides intelligent delivery of services without compromising performance.

• Increased speed-to-service revenue

– The programmable Cisco architecture extended to 10 Gigabits per second dramatically improves customer density, increasing potential revenue per platform and facilitating compatibility with future versions.

– Interface breadth (copper, channelized, POS, ATM, and Ethernet) on a modular interface processor allows service providers to quickly roll out new services, facilitating consistent, secure services for all customers, large and small.

– XFP interfaces are featured for high-port-count applications with reach flexibility. Future optical technology improvements can be adopted using existing SPAs.

• Dramatically improved financials for your routing purchase

– Improved slot economics and increased density reduce capital expenditures (CapEx).

– The ability to easily add new interfaces as they are needed facilitates a "pay-as-you-grow" business model while still offering a high-density solution.

– SPAs are shared across multiple platforms and can be easily moved from one to another, providing consistent feature support, accelerated product delivery, and a significant reduction in operating expenses (OpEx) through common sparing as service needs change.
