Building out the service edge
Network operators are looking to quickly terminate multiple business service offerings, including carrier-grade Ethernet, mobile backhaul, CSR, and IP services.
This compact, cost-effective open network edge router is powered by dual AC/DC power supplies and designed to fit a variety of deployments. Ciena’s 3984 is a carrier-grade router based on the Service-Aware Operating System (SAOS) used in all Ciena’s Routing and Switching Platforms to deliver a consistent set of benefits, including interoperability between platforms, improved efficiency of operations, and service consistency among applications.
The 3984 supports applications such as business services Network Termination Element (NTE) or demarcation devices for retail and wholesale, as well as managed Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for L2VPN and L3VPN. Additionally, the nimble 3984 can support wholesale mobile backhaul services, has CSR functionality, and 10G PON support. All ports are 1/10/25GbE, offering investment protection to both operator and customer. This means no forklift change-outs are needed to migrate to higher bandwidths, and no capital investments are wasted.
