Ciena’s 5131 is a hardened, weatherproof router purpose-built to address the needs of Multiple System Operators (MSOs), Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), and wholesalers to expand in the most challenging outdoor and uncontrolled environments.
Building out the service edge—anywhere
Network operators are looking to expand into new rural territories and densify their edge networks by adding needed capacity in dense urban locations. As the edge network advances, the right hub site may not exist. Moreover, there are challenges associated with rolling out new hubs on a vast scale, such as varying mechanical installations, regulatory concerns, mounting rights, and the desire for unobtrusive aesthetics.
The 5131 Router’s ruggedized design enables network operators to accelerate permitting, avoid deployment delays, and reduce costly site infrastructure. The 5131 is engineered to accommodate direct outdoor deployment and avoid the associated costs of street cabinets. Mountable on a pole, strand, wall, or H-frame, the flexibility of the 5131 ensures it can be deployed where it is needed. And redundant AC, DC, and cable AC fieldreplaceable power modules ensure high reliability.
Ciena’s 5131 is weatherproof and temperature- controlled with multiple certifications, including GR-3108 Class 4 for unprotected environments, keeping it within strict specifications to protect against wind, dust, rain, and other outdoor contaminants.
