Ericsson has unveiled its router with
multi-dimensional scalability which is in the Smart Services Router 8000
family, tagged ‘SSR 8010.’
A press statement made available to DigitalSENSE News,
quoted the Head of Product Area IP & Broadband, Ericsson, Jan Häglund, saying
that SSR 8010 offers flexibility in capacity planning, lower total cost of
ownership and energy efficiency.
Additionally, he said, SSR 8010 allows concurrent
scalability in data plane and control plane, as well as the ability to add the
most demanding applications.
Ericsson’s SSR 8000 family also offers operators
complete flexibility to design their networks with both centralized and
distributed architectures.
According to him, the launch of its SSR 8010 Smart
Services Router (SSR), the latest addition to the SSR 8000 family and a key
component of its portfolio of 4th-generation Internet Protocol (IP) networking
solutions launched in 2011.
The portfolio, he noted is ideal for mobile and fixed
IP backhaul that can aggregate 2G, 3G, 4G and fixed access traffic.
He pointed out that the SSR 8010 which will be
commercially available in Q3 2012, is a 10-slot that complements the 20-slot
SSR 8020, thereby enabling operators to deploy the SSR family in different
parts of the network: IP Edge and aggregation.
He explained that the SSR 8010 consumes only 3.3 watts
per gigabit of traffic throughput and is best suited for applications where 10
available slots will be optimal to meet current capacity and upcoming growth –
for example in metro networks. Capacity planning will drive the decision and a
customer can deploy both 8010 and 8020 nodes in the same network.
He emphasised that the SSR 8010’s smaller footprint
provides additional flexibility for operators to deploy networks with
distributed architectures.
“The introduction of the SSR 8010 highlights
Ericsson’s ongoing focus on developing 4th-generation IP solutions that can
scale in multiple dimensions – data,
control and service. Given we anticipate that the traffic between data centers
and end users will quadruple to close to 1,000 exabytes annually by 2016,
demand for smart solutions of this type is expected to be strong,” he said.
