Operators are finding opportunities and facing challenges to support new and complex services and applications with 5G, IoT, and cloud—all while keeping experience-first networking in mind. The ACX7000 family platforms can help operators thrive. The ACX7024 and ACX7024X are fixed, 360 Gbps, 1 U (24 cm deep) multiservice routers, powered by Junos OS Evolved and Paragon Automation. They provide 1GbE to 100GbE port flexibility and delivers exceptional TCO, investment protection, and multiservice support for service provider, enterprise, and wholesale use cases. Its compact footprint and precision timing support make the ACX7024 and ACX7024X ideal for 4G/5G mobile network deployments.
ACX7024: The ACX7024 is an industrial-rated (I-Temp) multiservice router. Next-generation silicon delivers 360 Gbps of throughput, a comprehensive feature set, and the scale needed to support today’s and tomorrow’s performance and bandwidth requirements. The ACX7024 router’s fixed ports include 24 multi-rate (SFP28) ports, each configurable as 1GbE, 10GbE, and 25GbE, enabling operators to perform today’s most common upgrades on a port-by-port basis. An additional 4 fixed (QSFP-28) 100GbE uplinks are available to support scale.
ACX7024X: The ACX7024X is a commercial-rated (C-Temp), high-scale multiservice router. Key highlights are next-generation silicon that delivers 360 Gbps of throughput, a comprehensive feature set, a more powerful processor, 4 times the memory for high-scale environments, a higher FIB scale, and faster look-ups. All these features help operators and enterprises meet the needs of high-performance bandwidth requirements today and tomorrow. The ACX7024X router fixed ports include 24 multi-rate (SFP28) ports, each configurable as 1GbE, 10GbE, and 25GbE, enabling operators to perform today’s most common upgrades on a port-by-port basis. An additional 4 fixed (QSFP-28) 100GbE uplinks are available to support scale.
