Nokia unveiled its 7730 Service Interconnect Router (SXR) family of next-generation IP access, aggregation and edge platforms based on its new FPcx network processing unit (NPU), 112G SerDes, and SFP-DD optics.
The new, fully programmable FPcx processor, which is implemented in 7nm silicon, enables network security features such as in-line filtering for DDoS mitigation and line-rate MACsec/ANYsec encryption. The chip also features 7-level hierarchical QoS, queueing and a hierarchical memory design with superior scalability for services, tunnels, queues, counters.
The FPcx supports 1GE to 400GE interfaces with flexible 4x10G, 4x25G, 2x100G, 4x100G and 1x400G break-out options.
Nokia says the NPU can accommodate new services and standards as they emerge.
The new 7730 Service Interconnect Router (SXR) family includes four fixed form-factor and two modular platform variants, with a mix of port options ranging from 1GE to 400GE. Backplanes range from 3.6 Tbps to 5.6 Tbps of system capacity.
The platforms support stringent synchronization demands with highly accurate timing enabled by integrated dual-band Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. 7730 can support time-sensitive packet transport and fronthaul networks with a Class C-based Telecom Boundary Clock.
The rollout brings focus to the Nokia SR Linux network operating system (NOS), which embraces cloud-native design principles, and the Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP) automation suite.
Ken Kutzler, Vice President of IP Routing Hardware at Nokia, said: “As service providers and network builders scale their IP networks for increased capacity, they require the ability to confidently deliver deterministic, secure and reliable services with easy, efficient service evolution and network operations – all with solid TCO savings. Nokia’s new family of routers enables them to get the benefits of service routing available today at the IP edge/core into the IP access and aggregation networks. We do this without performance compromise while ensuring the latest requirements are met.”
