7750 Service Router (SR)

The 7750 Service Router (SR) product family is a suite of multiservice edge routers designed from inception to deliver high-performance, high availability routing with service-aware operations, administration, management, and provisioning. The 7750 SR integrates the scalability, resiliency, and predictability of MPLS along with the bandwidth and economics of Ethernet and a broad selection of legacy interfaces, to enable a converged network infrastructure for the delivery of next-generation services. The 7750 SR advanced and comprehensive feature set enables it to be deployed as a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) for residential services, as a Multiservice Edge for Carrier Ethernet and IP VPN business services, as the aggregation router in mobile backhaul applications, or as a mobile gateway for wireless networks. With support for service-enabled high-density 10GigE and 100GigE interfaces, the 7750 SR is also well suited for core routing applications. Available in five chassis variants (the 7750 SR-12, SR-7, SR-c12, SR-c4, and SR-1), the 7750 SR scales gracefully from 40 Gb/s to 2 Tb/s of capacity, providing cost-effective solutions to address the smallest to the largest network locations.

Benefits include:

• Reduced operational expenses: By combining wireline and wireless services on a 7750 SR-based converged provider edge, network operations are simplified because all services run over a platform with a consistent feature set, operational model, and management, while supporting the service scalability required to combine services. As legacy services are migrated to the new converged service network, the legacy networks that carried the service can be decommissioned, further simplifying overall network operations and expenditures. In addition, the 7750 SR has numerous features for automated provisioning of services based on service templates and interacting with other operational systems for authentication and authorization.
• Investment protection: From its introduction, the 7750 SR family has evolved with customer feature and scaling requirements. The 7750 SR sophisticated and flexible hardware has a track record of allowing new features and enhancements to be introduced “in-place” in software, rather than through a rapid series of ever-changing hardware iterations. The award-winning FP2 network processing silicon ensures 7750 SR platform capacity and service scale can continually evolve in step with customer requirements, providing an unprecedented level of investment protection.
• Environmentally friendly: Pioneering advances in power efficiency are incorporated into each member of the 7750 SR family, reducing the expense of both powering and cooling when comparing products with less advanced silicon technology. Combined with environmentally sensitive manufacturing processes, careful materials selection, and a view to sustainable product lifecycle management, the 7750 SR family assists service providers in reducing their environmental impact.
