5169

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.

Features and benefits

  1. Temperature hardened (-40°C to +65°C) for temperature-challenged or space-constrained locations

  2. 4 x 100/200GbE, 8 x 100GbE, and 4 x 1/10/25GbE fixed ports

  3. L1/L2/L3 low latency switching

  4. Service isolation using FlexE

  5. IP routing, SR-MPLS, Carrier Ethernet, and SRv6 ready

  6. Routing and switching OAM scaled to deliver 25GbE services with guaranteed SLA differentiation
