NPT 2100 Family – XDR Router Series
Access Router Optimized for Access Aggregation

The NPT 2100 family of access aggregation routers is designed for next
generation services and applications and has two variants:•NPT 2100A - supports IP/MPLS and MPLS-TP and provides coherent routing (IPoDWDM) with a full set of optical interfaces
including 400G ZR/ZR+ coherent optical pluggables•

NPT 2100AR - supports IP/MPLS only and does not provide IPoDWDM

With support for multiple access technologies, the NPT 2100 family is optimized to provide access aggregation. It is temperature
hardened, with high throughput, a small form factor, and is suitable for both outdoor and indoor deployment.
The NPT 2100 family provides 800G non-blocking switching capacity in a 1RU form factor. It provides an extensive set of interfaces
ranging from and 1G to 400G and supports multiple access technologies such as Ethernet, MPLS, PON and legacy TDM, making it theideal solution for access aggregation. With a full set IP/MPLS transport capabilities, the NPT 2100 can efficiently aggregate and routethe services over the network, meeting their service performance needs (SLAs) on a service by service basis.
With such a rich and robust feature-set, the NPT2100 family is well suited for a wide variety ofapplications and networking scenarios, these include;•5G Cell site router: with 5G specific functionality
including, Class C timing, Segment Routing,Flex-Algo, EVPN, and 5G interfaces•RAN
