The RazorEdge 100 (RE100) is ideally suited for applications in
core and access networks, or as an end node in wireless sites and
substation locations and Campus environments. The RazorEdge is
also temperature hardened, which means it can be used in outside
plant cabinets.
As a next-generation edge platform, the RazorEdge 100 is:
- A multi-service solution that integrates layer 2 Ethernet
switching and SONET bandwidth management functions to efficiently
aggregate and deliver both TDM and Ethernet services.
- Reliable, with full 1:1 equipment protection available for
all tributary ports and system functions, as well as 1+1
APS and UPSR facility protection for SONET network ports.
- A compact 2RU high shelf ideally suited for installation
in customer locations, OSP cabinets, and central offices.
- Flexible, offering native DS1, DS3, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet tributary interfaces, as well as modular,
fully protected OC-3/12 or OC-48 SONET trunk interfaces using
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics.
A single shelf that extends SONET and Ethernet to the
provider edge, the RazorEdge 100 allows service providers to
converge high-speed data, video and voice services over their
existing infrastructure with the highest levels of reliability
and cost-efficiency.
The Multiservice design of the RazorEdge
100 combines STS-1 and VT1.5 level grooming and Ethernet
switching to support evolving access applications. This capability
allows service providers to deliver new Ethernet services
without having to build dedicated overlay networks. Integrated
SONET bandwidth management capabilities enable service providers
to manage traffic down to the T1 level, ensuring optimal
transport network efficiency.
The RazorEdge 100 features a powerful
5 Gbps Layer 2 Ethernet switch fabric. This means that the
RazorEdge 100 supports delivery of both point-to-point Ethernet
Private Line (EPL) and multipoint Ethernet Private LAN/Transparent
LAN services. EPL services provide dedicated Ethernet connectivity
that does not compete for bandwidth with other services
and multipoint Ethernet Private LAN/Transparent LAN services
provide shared Ethernet connectivity that does compete for bandwidth
with other services. For these oversubscribed services, intelligent
VLAN and flow control mechanisms enable differentiated classes
of service and carrier-grade service level agreements (SLAs)
that can be defined and scaled in 1 Mbps bandwidth increments.
