Extending Performance, Versatility, and Reliability at the Provider Edge

Cisco 7609 Router

®

The Cisco

7609 Router is a high-performance router deployed at the network edge, where

performance, IP services, redundancy, and fault resiliency are critical. It enables Carrier Ethernet

service providers to deploy an advanced network infrastructure that supports a range of IP video

and triple-play (voice, video, and data) system applications in both the residential and business

services markets. The Cisco 7609 enables enterprises to deploy advanced WAN and

metropolitan-area network (MAN) networking solutions necessary to succeed in demanding, high-

traffic environments.

Providing the foundation for a powerful combination of speed and services, the 9-slot Cisco 7609

Router is an outstanding choice for multiple applications. Whether deployed as a high-speed WAN

aggregator, as a device for peering, as a residential broadband services aggregator, or as a device

for Metro Ethernet aggregation and uplink, the Cisco 7609 meets requirements for redundancy,

high availability, and rack density. In the point-of-presence (POP) service provider edge or the

metropolitan network edge, the Cisco 7609 sets new standards as part of the industry-leading

Cisco 7600 Series Routers (Figure 1).
