7250 interconnect router
Scale up fixed and mobile aggregation networks and cell sites
Overview
Highly scalable interconnectivity
Machine-to-machine (M2M), IoT, video, and gaming applications are putting pressure on your network. The Nokia 7250 IXR meets their stringent requirements while supporting emerging architectures on the path to 5G, such as centralized and cloud RAN, distributed core, leaf-spine, and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC).
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 product family, and the IXR-10, IXR-6 and IXR-s platforms 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 7250 IXR product line runs our feature-rich and highly robust SR OS, which addresses the full spectrum of IP routing requirements. 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 line 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 router platforms 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 GNSS ports and compliance to eCPRI fronthaul timing specifications.
Accelerate service delivery while minimizing operating costs
Field-proven, resilient and secure, the Nokia Service Router Operating System (SR OS) 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).
