The Cisco ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services Router (ASR) is a full-featured converged access platform designed for the cost-effective delivery of wireline and wireless services. These temperature hardened, high-throughput, small form factor, low-power-consumption routers are optimized for mobile backhaul and business applications. The Cisco ASR 920 Router provides a comprehensive and scalable feature set of Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) and Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) services in a compact package. It also enables service providers to deploy Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based VPN services from within the access layer.
The Cisco ASR 920 Series has multiple models with different port densities, including the following models that feature lower port densities:
The Cisco ASR 920 Series offers key Carrier Ethernet features that simplify network operation; you can use them for premium services with enhanced service-level agreements (SLAs). An optional “pay-as-you-grow” feature and service activation model makes the Cisco ASR 920 Series flexible and cost-effective.
