7250 Interconnect Routers

Scale up cell sites, access networks, and aggregation networks

The Nokia 7250 Interconnect Routers family of routers offers a variety of differentiated, modular and fixed platforms based on merchant silicon, suitable for diverse networking needs including mobile, residential and business access, aggregation, edge compute and data center applications.

The 7250 IXR-R, IXR-e and IXR-X product families and the 7250 IXR-s platform are purpose-built for access and aggregation in mobile anyhaul, fixed-mobile convergence, and mission-critical enterprise applications. They offer compact, temperature-hardened platforms with advanced timing, security and quality of service features.

The Nokia 7250 IXR-X series; IXR-X1b, IXR-X3b, platforms and the IXR-6e/10e series deliver multi-terabit-scale interconnectivity within data centers and across WANs. They enable service provider, webscale and enterprise networks to meet increasing traffic demands for years to come. They offer exceptional networking performance and reliability to support your business as your networking needs grow and change.

The Nokia 7250 IXR product uses Nokia network operating systems (SR OS, SR Linux) . These robust and scalable operating systems have been proven in service provider, enterprise and webscale networks worldwide. It includes extensive IP/MPLS, segment routing, EVPN functionality, and SDN capabilities for IP-based mobile, residential, and enterprise services.

Benefits and features

Optimize cost/performance with a fit-for-purpose product line

The 7250 IXR product family has a broad selection of routers custom-designed for specific roles in your network from cell sites, access and leaf nodes to high-scale aggregation and spine nodes.

Maximize ROI: rely on 7250 IXR system longevity

7250 Interconnect Routers enable seamless integration of high-performance digital coherent optics (DCOs), enabling IP routers to interconnect directly and efficiently using coherent DWDM wavelengths. The 7250 IXR-R series offers high port density in compact, modular, extended-temperature form factors. The 7250 IXR-R6 supports legacy TDM interfaces for investment protection.

Improve user experience

Reduce network downtime and improve overall customer satisfaction. The 7250 IXR platforms deliver superior network performance using Nokia’s symmetrical multi-processing capability. Excellent network resiliency and security reduces network downtime and operations costs while boosting customer satisfaction. Access, aggregation and leaf routers feature deep buffers to accommodate bursty traffic without dropping packets.

Support fronthaul and URLLC applications

7250 IXR access and leaf routers feature low nodal latency (the time for a packet to enter and exit the router), and traffic prioritization features to speed high priority traffic through the network. They offer advanced synchronization features including compliance to eCPRI fronthaul timing specifications.

Accelerate service delivery while minimizing operating costs

Field-proven, resilient and secure, the Nokia network operating systems (SR OS, SR Linux) delivers a rich set of IP routing and MPLS features across the entire Nokia IP-routing portfolio, simplifying operations.

Accelerate service delivery with automation

7250 IXR routers let you take advantage of the advanced, comprehensive, model-driven management capabilities of our Network Services Platform (NSP). When deployed as part of a software-defined networking (SDN) solution, the NSP supports unified service automation and network optimization across IP, MPLS, Ethernet and optical transport layers. SR OS enables model-driven management using YANG-based models for automation. Model-driven management interface support includes NETCONF, gRPC (gNMI and gNOI) and the model-driven CLI (MD-CLI).
