Ciena’s 5160 Service Aggregation Switch changes the economics of 10GE services, addressing the need to efficiently deliver and aggregate large quantities of data while meeting stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
The 5160 provides exceptional 10GE density in a small 1RU form factor, with the added flexibility of supporting 1G SFPs in addition to 10GE SFP+ transceivers for easy migration as end-user demand grows. Its industry-leading feature set allows operators a cost-effective entry point into premium Ethernet business services or 3G/4G mobile backhaul applications.
The 5160 is based on Ciena’s field-proven packet networking technology, with hundreds of thousands of systems deployed by operators worldwide. Its software architecture is based on a common Service-Aware Operating System (SAOS) used in all Ciena’s Packet Networking Portfolio switches to provide operational efficiency and consistent system and service attributes. SAOS delivers consistent benefits across all packet networking applications, including:
• Rapid implementation of the latest advances in Ethernet technologies, as well as new services and standards proposed by the IEEE, IETF, MEF, and ITU
• Improved efficiency and cost savings resulting from a common deployment and service provisioning model
• Service offering ubiquity, permitting rapid rollout of new services across the entire network
• Multi-vendor equipment interoperability
• Complete MEF CE 2.0-compliant Ethernet service offerings for E-Line, E-VPLine; EP-LAN; E-VPLAN; E-Tree, E-VPTree, and E-Access
