Simplify Network Architectures and Support Next-Generation Services

With customers demanding advanced services, such as video, voice, VPNs, and IP-rich media, in addition to traditional connectivity services, your network may already be evolving to an IP Next-Generation Network. Your efforts are focused on simplifying your POP architectures, reducing capital and operating expenses, delivering current services more efficiently, and building the capability to support tomorrow's new, bandwidth-intensive broadband services. Cisco Carrier IP/MPLS routing solutions can help meet your business, technical, and operational goals.


Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System

The Cisco CRS-1, with up to 92 Tbps of switching capacity, provides core IP/MPLS routing capabilities for converged packet infrastructures. CRS-1 leverages IOS XR, the industry's first fully distributed operating system, to deliver unparalleled scalability, continuous system operation, and unprecedented service flexibility. These qualities allow you to scale a single system to handle the massive demands of new services such as video while simultaneously consolidating your POP architecture by collapsing your core, peering, and aggregation routing tiers.


Cisco XR 12000 and 12000 Series Routers

Combining the unparalleled innovation of Cisco IOS XR Software with the investment protection of the market-leading Cisco 12000 Series, the new Cisco XR 12000 Series routers help accelerate the service provider evolution to IP Next-Generation Networks, resulting in opportunities to generate new services and revenue. Deployed in small cores or at the multiservice edge, the 12000 series scales from 2.5-Gbps to n x 10-Gbps capacity per slot and offers secure virtualization, continuous system operation, and multiservice scale.

Cisco and the Service Provider IP Next-Generation Network Journey
Understand a phased approach to building an IP NGN and how it involves creating an intelligent infrastructure from which applications are delivered by service-aware networks. This type of intelligent, IP-based NGN will open new opportunities for service providers advanced and personalized all-media services over any type of connection. Because it provides convergence in three interworking application, service, and network—intelligent IP can be the technology foundation to bring about the NGN transformation.
