Ericsson SP 420
The Ericsson SP 420 is a powerful IP/MPLS router
leveraging a common operating system, IPOS, with
the flagship SSR 8000 family. It provides support for
standard L2VPN and L3VPN services over IP/MPLS
networks with a forwarding capacity of 120 Gbps,
making it ideally suited for Mobile Backhaul and
metro aggregation networks.
The support for Ethernet, IP and MPLS make it both
forward-looking and the most cost-effective packet
optimized backhaul node in its class. Ericsson SP
family consists of nodes in the capacity range from
16 Gbps to 120 Gbps.
KEY BENEFITS
› Common operating system with SSR 8000 series
– Bringing the benefits of IPOS to the access and
aggregation networks. Feature-optimized and high
density router, supporting both fiber and micro-
wave as transportation media.
› Forwarding capabilities of up to 120 Gbps
capacity – Protecting carrier investments and
providing head room for future innovative IP services.
› Transport media flexibility – Support both fiber
and microwave as transport media.
› Service flexibility with MPLS – enabling reduced
capital and operating costs through integration of
different services in one single device.
› Interface flexibility – Combo ports supporting
both SFP cages and electrical RJ45 interfaces.
› Proven synchronization capabilities
– Leveraging the experience from existing members
of the Ericsson SP family, and supporting
the evolution to latest releases of LTE with
SyncE and 1588v2 Phase/time synchronization.
› Purpose built with industrial grade components
– Supporting extreme temperature deployments
(-40°C to 65°C).
