GX 550®Multiservice

WAN Switch

Scale ATM networks and increase your capacity to deliver ATM, IP/MPLS, and frame relay services
at the network edge. Designed for the core, the GX 550®Multiservice WAN Switch provides the
availability, service-aware routing, and high-speed switching you require at the heart of your
multiservice network. With optical interfaces and DWDM support, the GX 550®switch can
connect directly to your optical network. This enables you to move statistical multi-plexing into
your transmission facility— helping to create more cost-efficient data transport. Expand service
functionality into low-speed native ATM, Private Line and voice transport applications with the
GX 550®Extender Shelf (ES).

Applications

• Scale ATM networks to
OC-48c/STM-16

• Transport ATM and IP/MPLS

• Provide Circuit Emulation Services
(CES), ATM services and
unchannelized access with the
GX 550®ES

Benefits

• Create new revenue opportunities
through multiservice capabilities

• Provide ATM-level QoS for all
multiservice traffic

• Balance core and access functions
for improved ROI

• Simplify network management and
reduce operating costs with Navis

®

network management software

Features

• Protocol-independent multiservice
switching— Flexibility to change
your service mix to meet demand

• Small footprint —Scale to 25 Gbps
full duplex capacity (32 Gbps for
IP/MPLS) to provide 50/64 Gbps
capacity per rack

• Superior availability— Lossless
fabric switchover and 1+1 Automatic
Protection Switching (APS)
provide proven reliability

• Excellent scalability— High port
densities, industry-leading Virtual
Circuit support, and distributed
routing and signaling increase
service capacity

• Expandable design— Low-speed
ATM interfaces supported
including CES
