NPT 2300 – XDR Router FamilyHigh Performance Multiservice Aggregation RouterThe NPT 2300 is a compact, modular, high-capacity, aggregation router designed toprovide aggregation for services, applications and architectures requiring a highcapacity, high-performance multiservice solution. With support for IP/MPLS, MPLSTP, SR-TE, and IPoDWDM NPT 2300 uses the right IP transport technology for eachservice it supports. With a modular architecture and unique in-service extensions
the NPT 2300 allow cost-effectively scale to meet any service mix.
In base configuration the NPT 2300 provides upto 1.4T capacity @1000Mpps and supports 10M/100M 1G/10G/25G/50F/100G/200G and400G interfaces in a 3RU form factor. This can be extended to 3T fan-out and 2.4T switching capacity with the addition of service cards.
With an extensive set of interfaces for multiple access technologies such as Ethernet, MPLS, PON and legacy TDM, and redundancy offans and input power the NPT 2300 is a perfect fit for networks requiring high capacity, high availability multiservice access edge andaggregation capabilities. With a full set IP/MPLS, segment routing and MPLS-TP transport capabilities, the NPT 2300 can efficientlyaggregate and route the services over the network, meeting their service performance needs (SLAs) on a service by service basis. A fullset of optical interfaces including 400G ZR/ZR+ coherent optical pluggables, allows the NPT 2300 to support both single layer, hop-byhop 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, NPT 2300
is well suited for a wide variety of applications andnetworking scenarios, these include;•RAN
