The Cisco 12000 Series 1-Port Channelized OC-48/STM-16 (DS3/E3, OC-3c/STM-1c, OC-12c/STM-4c) POS/SDH ISE Line Card revolutionizes the delivery of edge services by combining the power of the Cisco 12000 Series distributed system architecture and adaptive network processors to 10G-enable the high-speed service provider edge.
Service providers face the challenge of meeting customer demand by building scalable, feature-rich edge networks that can deliver value-added services such as Multiprotocol Label Switching virtual private networks (MPLS VPNs), voice, video, and data integration, and tiered service offerings at all interface rates without compromising density or line-rate performance. The Cisco IP Services Engine (ISE) technology channels one OC-48 or STM-16 interface into DS3, E3, OC-3c, STM-1c, OC-12c, and/or STM-4c channels and provides an extensive set of service-enabling edge features while performing at line-rate simultaneously on all ports.
