MPLS router ME5100S

Mass production

Key features

Reliable and high performance solution
Wide support for MPLS switching mechanisms
Redundant power supply

ME series routers are multifunctional devices with a high port density intended for use in provider networks as aggregation routers and IP/MPLS network edge routers. This solution can be used to organize operator’s points of presence when providing data services for large customers with high reliability requirements.

ME series routers have unified software and management interfaces. In addition to traffic routing and switching, the main device functions are a wide support for MPLS switching mechanisms, including MPLS Layer3 VPN, VPLS (Kompella/Martini), VPWS with pseudowire backup capabilities, Multicast-traffic routing with support for PIM-SM/PIM-SSM/MSDP/Anycast PIM protocols, as well as extensive QoS capabilities. This set of functions allows to use devices as network edge routers for termination of client services.

Fault tolerance of devices is ensured by redundant power supply "1+1" (modular ME5000 routers are equipped with 2 DC feeders -48V instead of redundant power modules) and by redundant fan modules. All redundant units are hot-swappable.

ME5100S and ME5200S routers with hardware support for network synchronization and the SyncE protocol, equipped with dedicated SMB interfaces for I/O synchronization signals (10 MHz). The devices can be used on converged networks of mobile operators as a Mobile Backhaul transport.
