Ericsson introduces SSR 8000 family of Smart Services Routers
(firmenpresse) - STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN -- (Marketwire) -- 08/31/11 --
* Smart Services Routers (SSR) support delivery of services across fixed
and
mobile networks; enable faster introduction of new services to
consumers
* Features unparalleled scaling of signaling and data capacity combined
with
leading density
* Superior system-wide quality of service enforcement enables operators
to
offer differentiated services to consumers
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announces the market introduction of its SSR
8000
family of Smart Services Routers (SSR), a key component of Ericsson's 4(th)
generation of IP networking launched earlier this year. The solution
provides
operators with a simple, smart and scalable solution for converged
networks. As
a consolidated platform for both fixed and mobile network applications, the
SSR
enables complete network convergence so subscribers can access services
from any
device or location.
When more and more different types of data-driven devices are connected to
networks, operators will need to handle unprecedented amounts of traffic
and be
prepared to cope with an unparalleled diversity of applications and end-
user
devices. The 4(th) generation of IP networks must enable users to access
the
Internet anywhere at anytime, while delivering personalized services.
The SSR 8000 product portfolio is developed in Ericsson Silicon Valley and
runs
the Ericsson IP Operating System, a highly resilient, modular operating
system
that has been deployed in 75 of the top 100 operators networks in the
world.
Carriers benefit from the SSR's low carbon footprint, superior system
efficiency, superior QoE, and highly scalable architecture. The SSR 8020 is
a
16Tbps system with 400G full-duplex slots combined with leading density
(e.g. up
to 800x1G or 200x10G ports).
"Operators have been transforming their networks to IP for several years
now,
but requirements have grown, driving the need for a new round of equipment
that
can support new applications and revenue generation of fixed and mobile
broadband segments, characterized by not only video traffic, but high call
signaling volumes," stated Michael Howard, principal analyst, carrier and
data
center networks, at Infonetics Research. "The new Ericsson Smart Services
Routers are designed to provide the scalability, resiliency, and
subscriber/application support that carriers are seeking for their next
generation networks."
"To enable a truly Networked Society, operators must effectively manage an
ever-increasing traffic volume and a diverse pool of applications and end-
user
devices. The network must not only be able to handle a tremendous volume of
data, it must also address an unprecedented level of signaling traffic,"
said
Jan Häglund, Head of Product Area IP & Broadband, Ericsson. "Our Smart
Services
Routers serve as the foundation for a highly reliable network unhampered by
technological constraints. The SSR 8000 family can scale to meet the
signaling
and bandwidth needs of even the most demanding applications, and help
operators
establish a competitive advantage in the race to connect 50 billion devices
by
2020."
The Ericsson SSR 8000 family of Smart Services Routers, includes:
* Ericsson SSR 8020, Smart Services Router, 20 slots
* Ericsson SSR 8010, Smart Services Router, 10 slots
* Ericsson SSR 8006, Smart Services Router, 6 slots
The Ericsson SSR 8020 will ship at the end of 2011. Other Smart Services
Routers
will be available next year.
