Broadband Routers
PacketFront's ASR (Advanced Services Router) series of broadband routers is one important part of the automated broadband solution. Being the policy enforcement point in the broadband networks the ASRs efficiently deliver triple-play services to the end-users through fiber or CAT5 copper connections. The software of all PacketFront ASRs, iBOS, ensures that services are securely delivered and have the high quality that is required in advanced broadband networks.
Our broadband routers are purpose-built for open access environments. These are networks where multiple service providers deliver services to the end-users through one shared infrastructure, and the end-users have the flexibility to select the services from any service provider of their choice. The capability to treat each service from each service provider separately becomes essential in such networks. The ASRs have this capability, and parameters such as bandwidth, priority, security, and QoS can be set per individual service, independently if the services are delivered from the same port on the ASR.
The Service Engine series of service-enforcing routers enables the deployment of consistent services across multiple access technologies. The Service Engine aggregates access technologies such as xDSL DSLAMs, PON, Ethernet over coax, and wireless devices and is intended for central office installations.
The MetroStar 2000 series of Optical Line Terminator for ITU G.984 Gigabit passive optical networks is built for the metro access with standard Ethernet switch features combined with GPON downlinks that can each provide a high density and low power consumption connection to hundreds of subscribers.
