Optimize cost/performance with a fit-for-purpose product line
The 7250 IXR product family includes 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 through system longevity
The 7250 IXR family seamlessly integrates 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 the user experience
The 7250 IXR platforms deliver superior network performance using Nokia symmetrical multi-processing capabilities. Excellent network resiliency and security reduce 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 with eCPRI fronthaul timing specifications.
Accelerate service delivery with automation
7250 IXR routers can take advantage of the advanced, comprehensive, model-driven management capabilities of the Nokia 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 the 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).
