Ericsson Strengthens its 4th Generation IP Portfolio

At the MPLS & Ethernet World Congress in Paris, Ericsson announced two key developments that reinforce its commitment to developing 4th Generation IP networks: the Ericsson SNP 4000 network processing chipset, and extension of the Ericsson IP operation system (IPOS) as the common platform across the entire IP portfolio.The Ericsson SNP 4000 brings to the market industry-leading packet processing capacity with an ASIC solution that integrates thousands of processing cores to enable products that can scale from 100Gbps to 1Tbps and applications that support millions of subscribers. With its innovative hyper-threaded run to completion architecture running the Linux OS with full support for GNU based C/C++ tool chain, the SNP 4000 will herald a new era of feature velocity and power efficiency in IP products.Ericsson IPOS, the operating system that runs on the flagship SSR 8000 family of Smart Services Routers, will be extended to cover all Ericsson IP products. The MINI-LINK SP 415 and MINI-LINK SP 420 running Ericsson IPOS are being showcased at the MPLS World Congress in Paris.
