Neptune NPT-1800
5G Ready Metro Core Transport

NPT-1800 is a high-capacity multiservice packet transport platform. A member ofRibbon’s Neptune (NPT) product line, its 8RU height, 100G interfaces, and 2 Tbps
switching capacity make it optimized for high-capacity metro and mobile backhaul
applications.
The Neptune product line provides a powerful, flexible, and efficient end-to-end solution
for metro, IoT, and mobile backhaul applications. It combines carrier-grade service
assurance and control with packet efficiency and unparalleled multiservice support.
The powerful Elastic MPLS engine provides future-proof evolution with converged support for MPLS (IP and TP), Ethernet (MEF CE2.0
certified), segment routing, and TDM over CES/CEP. OTN mapping and WDM interfaces allow seamless hand-off for bulk optical transport.
Neptune is well-suited for a wide variety of applications and networking scenarios with SDN, NFV, segment routing, FlexE, enhanced
timing, and advanced operations provided by Ribbon’s MUSETM software suite. These include traditional mobile backhaul (3G and 4G),
wholesale service delivery, residential multiplay, business VPNs, mission critical networks, and next-generation transport for optimized
delivery of all 5G services.
