All Extreme Networks advanced routing and switching features, including IPv6, are available on this compact and powerful platform.
The highly scalable Extreme Networks cell site router is a new carrier-grade Ethernet platform designed to enable true 4G mobile backhaul networks through three capabilities – synchronization, resiliency, and performance. The Cell Site Router provides industry-standard pseudowires, supporting both CESoPSN (framed and channelized) and SAToP (unframed and unchannelized) TDM services. By converting TDM T1/E1 connections from 2G and 3G services over pseudowires for transport over Ethernet mobile backhaul, the cell site router enables the support of multiple generations of services over a single Ethernet mobile backhaul network.
Features
- Hardware-based IEEE 1588v2 and ITU-TG.8262 Synchronous Ethernet for next-generation timing
- Resilient packet ring protocols including EAPS (Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching, RFC 3619) and ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
- 12 line-rate synchronous GbE port
- Industry-standard pseudowires supporting up to 16 T1/E1 port
- Hardware-based Ethernet OAM including IEEE 802.3ah, IEEE 802.1ag, and ITU Y.1731
- Modular ExtremeXOS® software with XML API
