Cisco ASR 5000 (Aggregation Services Router)

Cisco ASR 5000 license

The Cisco ASR 5000 Series consists of Cisco ASR 5000 and newest platform ASR 5500 and 5700 series. The ASR 5000 routers provides the optimal solution for mobile and networks that require market leading performance, intelligence shape of experience and superior network architecture flexibility and robust arability.

Each member of ASR 5000 series uses the same software and operating system supporting the consistence set of services across platforms which results significantly lower impact on operations. With the Cisco ASR 5000 series platform decisions are based on the performance non functional software.

Operations has multiple options based on size, scope and scale. The ASR 5000 series is access independent meaning that it can be deployed in variety of networks such as: LTE, GPRS, Edge, UMTS, HSPA, CDMA eHRPD and also provide access to fixed or small networks like Wi-Fi and Femtocells.

The system is based on the elastic architecture that allocates all processing requirements across platform and also separating call control packet forwarding on separate control data switch fabrics.

This device utilizes all system processing resources across the entire system for all network functions, this optimizes performance, maximizes capital efficiency and further enhancing robust availability of the system. The ASR 5000 series provides full hardware and software redundancy as well as high availability software techniques such as session recovery, fault containment and state replication.

Cisco also implemented Inter-chassis recovery to bring geographically redundancy between multiple platforms in the series.

The ASR 5000 series has the ability to recognizes different traffic flows to shape and manage each session while interacting with the applications. It accomplishes deep packet inspections (DPI) technology, service steering and traffic optimization to dynamically monitor control sessions on the per subscriber flow basis.

With the understanding of the Realtime state information within multimedia call such as session state, subscriber-state, location state and access technology state, the platform provides you greater degree of information granularly and flexibility for billing, network planning, usage trend analysis, policy enforcement, charging and QoS features. These devices can be configured to any size Core networks.

Models

The Cisco ASR 5000 combines massive performance and scale with flexibility, virtualization, and intelligence—so network resources are available exactly when they are needed.

The Cisco ASR 5500 can accommodate volatile traffic patterns and changing demands on the network. It takes the flexibility, elasticity and intelligence of StarOS to a new level, so mobile operators can rapidly profit from new capabilities while providing an optimal user experience.

The Cisco ASR 5700 was developed to address the flexibility requirements of customers looking for a mobile packet core commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution. It bundles the industry-leading packet core, Cisco StarOS, with the industry-leading blade server, Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS).

By using Product Authorization Key (PAK) on ASR 5000 routers, certain features can be activated. The Cisco IOS universal image contains all fixed feature images in one image. You can access the required functionality based on the license installed on the device. The software packaging simplifies the image selection process by consolidating the total number of packages and by using consistent package names across all hardware products.
