Purpose-built routers for high performing networks

The Router 6671 is an advanced cell site router, designed to enable high quality network service delivery.  It provides high density of 10G and 25G ports with 100Gbps switching capacity in a compact, 250mm deep, and hardened 1RU form factor. The switch processor has native support for SRv6 without performance degradations.  The use of front to back cooling and the class leading power efficient design ensures the lowest power consumption within its segment. 

Low latency and precise synchronization are optimized to maximize the 5G enhancements such as Spectrum Sharing and Carrier Aggregation that enable efficient use of spectrum.

Router 6676 is a 25GE optimized Cell Site Router catering for RAN evolution, aggregating traffic from multiple RAN Compute or Cloud RAN units to the transport infrastructure. It provides high density 1/10/25GE and 100GE ports with 360Gbps switching capacity in a compact, less than 300mm deep, and hardened 1RU form factor. The switch processor has native support for SRv6 without performance degradations.

The high capacity, low latency and precise synchronization are optimized to maximize the 5G coordination features that enable efficient use of spectrum.
Router 6676 has strong security features such as vendor credential and vendor software authentication ensuring data security even in insecure environments

The Router 6678 is a compact high-capacity C-RAN hub and aggregation router with 4.8 Tbps switching capacity, designed to enable high quality network service delivery. It provides high density of 100GE and 400GE ports. Low power consumption in a compact, 510mm deep, 1RU form factor enables lower operating expenditures.

Router 6678 supports VPN services over IP/MPLS/SRv6 networks, service provider SDN service exposure using NETCONF/YANG, extensive quality of service and precise synchronization features.

The Router 6673 enables efficient conversion to eCPRI for Ericsson RAN sites and also use Radio over Ethernet (RoE) to cater for older types of radios in the network.

With Conversion being the most effective method in terms of bandwidth savings, 60 to 80 percent in savings can be achieved depending on RAN configuration, at the same time reducing the fiber and transport equipment needs. It also works as a cell site router and aggregates enterprise traffic.

Ericsson Transport Automation Controller enables communications service providers to make informed, data-driven decisions in their transport networks. With its exceptional network observability, advanced analytics, and AI-driven automation and control, this cloud-native solution is the key to effectively managing microwave, IP, and optical networks. It leverages AI and machine learning to proactively address the challenges faced by 5G transport networks, ensuring optimal performance and reliability
