Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Overview

The Cisco Visual Network Index predicts that by 2023, 5G speeds will be 13 times higher than the average mobile connection and 66% of the global population will have internet access. There will be nearly 30 billion devices/connections by 2023 – 45% of those will be mobile and average broadband speeds will rise from 46 Mbps to 110 Mbps. With millions of users and devices connecting to the network, the demands on the service provider network will not be limited to higher bandwidth at lower operating costs but will also require the capabilities to support new applications such as pervasive mobile broadband, massive IoT, tactile internet, smart city and virtual reality.

The Cisco Network Convergence System 540 Medium Density Routers (NCS 540) are designed for cost-effective delivery of next-generation services and applications. These routers are temperature-hardened, high-throughput, small form factor, low-power-consumption devices suitable for both outdoor and indoor deployments. With in-built trust anchor hardware infrastructure and anti-counterfeit protection along with software enabled security features, NCS 540 is most trusted and secured platform. They are powered by the industry-leading carrier-class version of Cisco IOS XR software designed for operational efficiency and service agility. Cisco IOS XR software offers advanced features such as programmability, application awareness, network visibility, and automation. The Cisco NCS 540 series of routers is an intelligent converged access platform which enables service providers to deliver next-level business and entertainment experiences.

Additional features

The NCS 540 Series Router also supports the Cisco DDoS Edge Protection solution.

Add leading DDoS protection directly to the NCS 540 Series Router to detect and block DDoS attacks on-box cost-effectively, without any impact on application latency.

DDoS edge protection can be leveraged for mobility traffic (GTP) and other traffic (IPv4/v6, MPLS, etc.) depending on the use case for the NCS 540 Series Router deployment.

The following platforms are supported:

     N540-ACC-SYS (16GB)

     N540X-ACC-SYS (16GB)

     N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS (32GB)
