Nokia 7210 Procuct Family

The Nokia 7210 SAS product family provides service providers with IP routing and Carrier Ethernet demarcation, access, and aggregation for mobile backhaul, business, and residential service delivery. For enterprise and mission-critical network operators, the 7210 SAS addresses stringent requirements for high network resiliency, deterministic network performance, and scalability.

As a member of the Service Router (SR) product portfolio, the 7210 SAS leverages the proven Nokia Service Router Operating System (SR OS) and the Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP) for service and operational consistency across the network. The 7210 SAS is compliant with the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) Carrier Ethernet (CE) 3.0 specification, and with Hierarchical Quality of Service (H-QoS) and comprehensive operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM). The 7210 SAS provides deployment flexibility, service richness, and operational simplicity to extend IP/MPLS and Carrier Ethernet services throughout the network.

Features & Benefits

    Support for differentiated services

  • Service providers want to unlock new revenue streams. Enterprise and mission-critical network operators need to fulfil the specific requirements of each of their various applications. To meet these needs, the 7210 SAS offers differentiated services, including Carrier Ethernet, IP VPN, and enhanced internet services coupled with per-service QoS, and bandwidth guarantees. Service providers can create tiered service models with flexible billing options, tailoring service packages based on the performance and availability requirements of their customers. Enterprise and mission-critical network operators can provide customized QoS and traffic profiles to assure the delivery of individual applications and essential business communications.

    Customer satisfaction and application delivery assurance

  • The plug-and-play capabilities of the 7210 SAS along with the NSP deliver rapid service turn-up without truck rolls, expediting in-service deadlines and time-to-revenue while minimizing the chance of operator error. The ability to continuously monitor and measure traffic from end to end and troubleshoot proactively enables network problems to be found and resolved before they affect end users. Monitoring, performance measurement of service metrics, prediction of threshold violations, reporting of test results and accurate billing provide a superior level of service to end users. These features also increase the reliability of missioncritical applications. For service providers, self-service customer portals with customized on-demand management capabilities improve the overall quality of experience for their customers.

  • Cost reduction through operational simplicity

  • Cost savings can be realized by transitioning from separate legacy networks onto a single platform where multiple services are converged onto one uplink and each application can be supported by a full range of Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS services. With a variety of compact form factors and features, the 7210 SAS cost effectively scales to support current and future customer and application requirements. It provides savings through advanced QoS, end-to-end OAM, optical integration, streamlined network upgrades, reduced training, testing cycles and operations support system (OSS) integration costs.
