ASR920-UPOE

Description

The Cisco ASR920-UPOE License unlocks Universal Power over Ethernet (UPOE) capabilities on the Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 4202 Series, derived from the robust ASR 920 platform. Designed for circuit-switched network migration and business applications, this license enables service providers to deliver best-in-class Circuit Emulation (CEM) and Carrier Ethernet services in a compact, temperature-hardened 1RU form factor. With 10 units in stock and a special offer at $189 (save 92%), enjoy immediate dispatch. PDF datasheet available for detailed review.

Key Benefits

• Support for TDM and SONET/SDH migration to modernized packet-based optical metro networks, providing cost-effective CEM and Carrier Ethernet over redundant MPLS/FlexLSP/SR networks.
• Metro Carrier Ethernet aggregation for Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN), Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN), IP, MPLS, Segment Routing (SR), and multicast services.
• Industry-leading carrier-class CEM technology delivering any-to-any connectivity via packet-based networks (MPLS/Flex LSP) using TDM, PDH, SONET/SDH, and Carrier Ethernet (FE, GE, 10GE) interfaces.
• Next-generation access with Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3), Hierarchical QoS (H-QoS), IP/MPLS, MPLS FlexLSP for sub-50ms resiliency, fault propagation, connectivity verification, and SDN programmability.
• Operational efficiency via Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPN-M) for automated operations, fast provisioning, and proactive assurance.
• Flexible 1RU platform for ETSI 300-mm cabinets, extended temperature range, field-replaceable components.

Industry-Leading CEM Technology

Aging TDM infrastructure is costly; the NCS 4201/4202 with ASR920-UPOE license meets legacy TDM needs while transitioning to packet networks. Features dense TDM CEM over protected Flex LSP, central office modernization for DCS/ADM migration, compact footprint with power/cooling savings. Supports wide TDM, PDH, SONET/SDH, Carrier Ethernet interfaces.

Fully Distributed Packet Capabilities
