Cisco 100 Gigabit Solution

Gain More Bandwidth and Cost-Savings

The networking industry is at a crucial point, as bandwidth demands for collaboration, video, and mobile traffic are increasing like never before, putting service provider networks under even more pressure. Service providers themselves are struggling to increase average revenue per user (ARPU), while reducing costs for upgrades and operations.

Cisco offers the industry's only end-to-end 100 Gbps solution that can span the core, network edge, data center, and optical transport. This solution is built on the latest innovations in high-speed optics, and lowers the cost per bit, while dramatically scaling network capacity.

Benefit from Proven 100-Gigabit Leadership

Cisco was the first to introduce a standards-compliant 100 Gigabit Ethernet interface on the CRS-3 Core Routing Platform. Since then, Cisco expertise in 100 Gigabit Ethernet has expanded to the network edge, with the Cisco ASR series, and to the data center, with the Cisco Nexus series.

Get the Flexibility of 100 Gigabit Transport

The optical transport industry is moving to coherent 100 Gigabit technology for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transport. Cisco has demonstrated clear leadership, by offering the Cisco 100 Gigabit Coherent DWDM Module, a solution with industry-leading performance, density, and power efficiency.

This module helps enable ultra-long haul and metro DWDM transport on the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP), supporting distances over 3000 kilometers. By being available on the industry's most widely adopted core routing system, the Cisco CRS-3, Cisco's 100 Gigabit interface continues the strong heritage of IP and optical innovations.

Coherent Cisco 100 G technology accommodates any carrier's operational model, providing a choice between transponder-based or IP-over-DWDM 100 Gigabit transport, with identical performance and complete interoperability. It also allows service providers to use their existing 10 Gigabit infrastructure without re-engineering, facilitating easy adoption of 100 Gigabit in their networks

Stay Ahead of Future Requirements

Complemented by recent advances in silicon photonics, Cisco coherent technology promises to scale to even greater densities and higher bit rates, preparing networks for 400 Gbps and 1 Tbps transport. The Cisco portfolio of high-speed optics will bring capacity and distance together with density and power efficiency, preparing service provider networks for the Zettabyte Era.
