7450 Ethernet Service Switch

Need Support Now?

The 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS) family of carrier Ethernet switch routers is designed to deliver high-performance MPLS-enabled carrier Ethernet services, while also providing the ideal platform for metro Ethernet aggregation for fixed and mobile networks.

Leveraging the Alcatel-Lucent 400 Gb/s FP3 silicon, the 7450 ESS integrates the scalability, resiliency and predictability of MPLS with the bandwidth economics of Ethernet to deliver enhanced business services and enable the metro aggregation of mobile, business and residential services. Available in four chassis variants, the 7450 ESS supports comprehensive Ethernet, IP, MPLS, and PBB networking with advanced resiliency and synchronization capabilities.

As a member of the industry-leading Service Router product portfolio, the 7450 ESS runs the Service Router Operating System (SR OS) and is managed by the 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM) for seamless integration into IP/MPLS solutions from Alcatel-Lucent.
