Provider Edge & Aggregation

In today's highly competitive service provider environment, many providers view the edge as a key ingredient to expanding service presence, achieving competitive service pricing, and adopting an agile and cost-effective pay-as-you-grow model. In this area, Foundry offers a wide range of edge products aimed at facilitating the achievement of all these goals. Foundry's edge switches and routers offer a wide range of form factors that address the different deployment needs. The devices, also, support a comprehensive set of transmission technologies including dual-speed fiber (100/1000 Mbps), and single-/dual-strand fiber support. Advanced traffic management and QoS capabilities further enable the implementation of flexible, revenue generating SLAs. Complementing the edge is Foundry's high density aggregation switches and routers. The devices are unique in offering all wire-speed performance at unparalleled densities for a wide range of technologies including Layer 2 Metro Ethernet, IPv4/IPv6 routing, and MPLS. The aggregation switches and routers are purpose built to support optimized unicast and multicast transport with advanced QoS guarantees, thereby enabling reliable transport for Voice, video, and data, and other multi-play applications.
