Ciena’s 5169 Router is purpose-built for next-generation broadband and 5G networks. With 1/10/25GbE to 100/200GbE aggregation, the 100GbE-optimized 5169 supports both hard (FlexEthernet or FlexE) and soft (Segment Routing or SR) network slicing. The 5169 is the ideal platform to simplify and de-risk the unique 4G-to-5G journeys of mobile and wholesale operators, while equally capable of sitting Top of Rack (ToR) for subtended micro–Optical Line Terminal (uOLT) applications.
Temperature hardened (-40°C to +65°C) for temperature-challenged or space-constrained locations
4 x 100/200GbE, 8 x 100GbE, and 4 x 1/10/25GbE fixed ports
L1/L2/L3 low latency switching
Service isolation using FlexE
IP routing, SR-MPLS, Carrier Ethernet, and SRv6 ready
Routing and switching OAM scaled to deliver 25GbE services with guaranteed SLA differentiation
This business case outlines a pluggable mixed PON/active architecture based on Ciena’s Universal Aggregation solution, which allows operators to achieve more CAPEX savings and greater PON reach extension when compared to traditional PON architecture for optical splitting ratios.
