DATA SHEET MPC480 EDGE ROUTER For Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks Cost efficient Pay-as-you-grow Edge Router for IP/MPLS Service Router/BNG The MPC480 is a cost efficient, pay-as-you-grow, router for Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks. The MPC480 is versatile, supporting many different deployment scenarios, and offers world-class features and tools to make network operation easier. The MPC 480 delivers the ultimate user experience. Highly configurable, this edge router enables operators to take full advantage of converged Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks for business and residential service delivery, and private (VPN) networking. The MPC480 can operate in many roles; as a high-performance IP router, as a Provider Edge router in IP/MPLS networks for layer2 and layer3 VPN services, and as a Service Router/BNG. The small form factor and flexible licensing structure allows a distributed Service Router architecture to support the increasing demand for Over the Top (OTT) services in modern broadband networks and to enable network operators to make better designs and reach better scalability by pushing intelligence further out into the network. The MPC480 is designed for Ethernet-based infrastructure in order to deliver the best cost efficiency and scalability to edge routing and Ethernet aggregation. Enhanced troubleshooting capabilities make network operations easier and improves the user experience with increased customer satisfaction and lower churn. DATA SHEET MPC480 ROUTER 1
BENEFITS Flexible pay-as-you-grow and service-centric licensing model Versatile L2/L3 VPN and Routing BNG with Effective Subscriber Management Up to 100Gbit/s throughput Edge Router platform for IP/MPLS networks Slim-form factor 4RU chassis with front-to-back cooling Redundant hot-swappable power and line-cards Lower CAPEX MPC480 is built for cost efficient Ethernet technology. Ethernet and IP is the foundation for all new networks and avoiding legacy technology means a better architecture and less complexity to reduce the overall cost. The MPC480 is built with network convergence in mind, using a flexible network processor with software defined features for service delivery. The MPC480 is a stepping stone towards network function virtualization (NFV). Cost efficient hardware allows generic deployment and enables you to build the network more efficiently and makes the network more scalable. Software enabled network functions for service delivery are licensed when, and where, you need to deliver services, thereby providing a pay-as-you-grow model. Your investments match your revenue gain which also reduces business risk. In comparison with other available solutions in the Edge Router segment on the market, the MPC480 has an entry price lower than the competition even as the service delivery World class features Operating a network is a challenge and requires technical skill. The MPC480 operating system, ibos, uses an industry standard CLI to allow network engineers and other technical staff to quickly adapt to working with the platform and quickly leveraging current skills and knowledge. In addition, the ibos operating system offers additional tools to facilitate network operations, such as the RPM quality measurement tool for multicast TV and remote mirroring capabilities to support legal intercept or advanced troubleshooting. Using the RPM feature, the MPC480 can monitor the quality of multicast TV in the network and provides realtime information about the customer experience. This enables network engineers to proactively monitor service quality and to quickly pinpoint any issues in the network. Faster troubleshooting and resolution benefits the customer. Please refer to figure 1 below. Figure 1 - Diagram using RPM tool to monitor the quality of multicast TV below. DATA SHEET MPC480 ROUTER 2
In addition to the CLI, ibos also includes the ScriBOS script language (based on Python). Using ScriBOS, the platform can be adapted to many operational environments and interacts with OSS systems in ways no other router on the market can. With NetConf on the near-term roadmap, the MPC480 provides world-class features to integrate, automate, operate and support network troubleshooting. Versatile deployment The feature sets of ibos and the MPC480 enable deployment in many roles. The MPC480 can provide business and residential services, serve as a native IP or IP/MPLS router, or perform Ethernet switching. In the Provider Edge (PE) role, the MPC480 can enable layer3 VPNs as well as layer2 point-to-point (E-Line) connections across a MPLS backbone. (Please refer to figure 2) This versatility enables service providers to enter the business service domain in order to meet requirements from multi-branch customers, or to backhaul residential and mobile traffic across the network. Figure 2 - MPC as Provider Edge As a Service Router/BNG, the MPC480 can perform rate-limiting and control services for thousands of customers connected by a vast variety of technologies, such as point-to-point Ethernet, GPON, xdsl, Cable-TV networks, wireless solutions and more. (Please refer to figure 3) Supporting Customer-VLAN topologies and multiple services per customer, the MPC480 is perfect to meet increasing demands for Over the Top services when broadband customers subscribe to even faster services. Figure 3 - MPC as Service Router/BNG FEATURE BENEFIT Pay as you grow pricing Low entry cost to build the network, combined with gradual licensing as revenue generating customers are added, provides the best cash-flow and OPEX efficiency. TV multicast quality monitoring Faster detection and resolution of TV quality issues leads to higher customer satisfaction and lower churn rate. MPLS and carrier routing and switching Core and edge router operation in enterprise and service provider networks, VPN services for business critical applications. Dynamic subscriber handling Broadband network gateway for any access technology with RADIUS authentication and service control provides universal service platform with easy integration to customer CRM/database.
