The advent of AI and the rapid transformation of 5G services are increasing the demand on next-generation mobile networks, enterprise business services, and Carrier Ethernet. The 3949 Router cost-effectively delivers the higher capacity and end-to-end disaggregated IP services at the network access point needed to meet this demand. In this data sheet, we take a look at how the router meets these challenges. The problem solving begins with the 3949’s design, housing its robust capabilities in a sleek, shallow 1 RU form factor. Captured in this space- and power-optimized unit are more ports than its predecessor. This increased number of ports can handle a wide array of applications, including MBH, IP networking, enterprise business services, and broadband access. When paired with Navigator Network Control Suite™ (Navigator NCS), the 3949 offers a host of SDN and programmability features, including administration and automation. All of the 3949’s features and capabilities manifest themselves in a network that gets more powerful, more flexible, and more cost-effective as it grows.
