The Cisco A900-IMA48T-C is a high-density 48-Port T3/E3 Interface Module designed for the Cisco ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Routers. This module enables service providers to deliver 48 ports of T3 or E3 connectivity, supporting the migration from legacy TDM and PDH networks to modern packet-based optical metro networks.
Key Features and Benefits
Applications
Ideal for metro Carrier Ethernet aggregation, enabling Layer 2, Layer 3, IP, and MPLS transport for L2VPN, L3VPN, and Multicast services. Overcomes limitations of legacy PDH/SONET/SDH networks by providing unbounded scale with CEM and OTN over protected packet networks. Supports next-generation access with PWE3, H-QoS, IP/MPLS, and MPLS FlexLSP for sub-50ms resiliency.
Operational Efficiency
Integrated with Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPN-M) for automated operations, fast provisioning, and proactive assurance. Comprehensive interfaces and protocols ensure versatility in access aggregation.
