14SFP+ 4RJ45
Interconnect Router

The 7250 IXR-e series features high system throughput and a variety of interfaces. 100GE ports used for high-speed uplinks enable costeffective 100GE ring architectures.

Nokia's Nokia 7250 IXR e 14SFP+ 4RJ45 Interconnect Router are used for access and aggregation and as 5G multi-access edge computing (MEC) leaf nodes. They are ideal for IP anyhaul and fixed-mobile convergence.

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

    Ready for growth

  • 5G mobile and telco cloud infrastructures are moving toward 25GE interfaces. On the 7250 IXR-e series, the native 25GE ports are capable of supporting 10GE or 25GE transceivers. Combined with support for GE SFPs in all SFP+ cages, the 7250 IXR-e allows for seamless migrations from 1GE to 10GE to 25GE rates without the need to replace the router.
  • Compact and power saving

  • The 7250 IXR-e’s compact (1RU) size and extended temperature range make it ideal for outside cabinet applications. It is ETSI 300-mm compliant, with all-up-front access and side-to-side air flow. A fan filter and redundant fans increase system lifetime and reduce maintenance costs. 7250 IXR-e systems consume approximately 20-25 percent less power than equivalent competing systems. Mass deployments for 5G will benefit significantly from this green design.

  • Differentiated service support

  • The 7250 IXR-e series supports low-latency applications while providing a large buffer memory for delay-tolerant applications. Very granular per-service and per-forwarding class policing and queuing features support differentiated quality of service (QoS), making the 7250 IXR-e series ideal for any-G aggregation and fixed-mobile network convergence.

  • Automation

  • To simplify and automate network operations, the 7250 IXR-e series enables model-driven network management features through the Nokia Service Router Operating System (SR OS) and is managed by the Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP), which offers a rich set of service management features that automate end-to-end service provisioning and operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) to enhance end-user experience and reduce operating costs. Standards-based software-defined networking (SDN) interfaces enable best-path computation to be offloaded to path computation elements (PCEs) such as the Nokia NSP. 7250 IXR-e-series routers operating as path computation clients (PCCs) collect and report per-link and per-service delay, jitter and loss metrics together with port utilization levels, for efficient path computation.
