Ciena’s 5162 Platform is a fixed configuration, microservices-based, WAN aggregation device. It provides up to 100GbE services for Carrier Ethernet, MPLS, and IP applications in mobile backhaul, business VPN, and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) network solutions.

Why 5162?

Create best-in-class, open solutions

An x86 ‘white box’ platform, the 5162 is optimized for supporting native applications and utility VNFs. It leverages Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and network management techniques using advanced APIs to support the creation of best-in-class solutions.

Offer flexible services

The 5162 supports a flexible menu of service offerings, including MEF-compliant E-Line/E-LAN/E-Tree/E-Access along with L3 services over a carrier-class, connection-oriented infrastructure using MPLS.

Features

High-performance 10GbE and 100GbE edge aggregation in a power-efficient and compact 1RU form factor

2 x 100GbE/40GbE (QSFP28) and 40 x 1/10GbE (SFP+)

Containerized functions with data, control, and management plane segregation for disaggregated functions

x86 ‘white box’ platform optimized for supporting native applications and utility VNFs

Carrier Ethernet, IP Routing, Segment Routing, and MPLS, including OAM, synchronization, telemetry, and NETCONF/YANG

Advanced QoS with hierarchical egress shaping and hierarchical ingress metering

Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for rapid, secure, and error-free turn-up of packet services

Ciena’s MCP multi-layer support for end-to-end network management control and planning

Flexible configuration options with redundant field-replaceable power supplies (AC or DC) and fan modules
