Neptune 1050
High Availability Access Router for the Access Edge

Neptune 1050 is a fully redundant, modular, accessrouter, with support for multiple access technologies
it is purpose- built for ooperators wanting a convergededge platform for new and legacy services.
Neptune 1050 provides 300Gbps packet switching and a port fan-out of 380G with and 100G interfaces in a 1RU form factor. It
provides an extensive set of interfaces for multiple access technologies such as Ethernet, MPLS, PON and legacy TDM(CES), making it
the ideal solution for deployment at the access edge. With a full set IP/MPLS, transport capabilities, the Neptune 1050 can efficiently
aggregate and route the services over the network, meeting their service performance needs (SLAs) on a service by service basis. Fullredundancy and support for segment routing and MPLS-TP make the Neptune 1050 a perfect fit for operators delivering business andmission-critical services.
Neptune 1050 supports a full set of optical interfaces including 100G ZR/ZR+ coherent optical pluggables, this allows it to support
both single layer, hop-by-hop IPoDWDM and multilayer IP and Optical transport. The operator can choose which approach best meets
their needs, or they can run both in a hybrid approach.
With such a rich and robust feature-set, Neptune 1050 is well suited for a wide variety of applications and networking scenarios,these include;•Mobile Backhaul•

TDM migration: supporting voice trunk andRAN

legacy service migration with circuit emulation
services (CES) mapping a full range of legacy
TDM interface speeds onto the packet switchedPON
