An Executive Brief on Routed Optical Networking
Cisco is bringing transformational technology to networking with routed optical networking solutions. Check out this solution brief to discover how it can help you simplify—and save time and money.
What is Routed Optical Networking?
Routed Optical Networking is an architecture that converges IP and private line services onto a single IP/MPLS network, allowing all switching to occur at Layer 3. This approach simplifies network management by reducing the number of devices and layers, which enhances resiliency and availability. It enables operators to maintain growth while protecting their investments over the next 10-15 years.
How does Routed Optical Networking impact operational costs?
Implementing Routed Optical Networking can lead to significant operational cost savings. For instance, early models have shown more than 45% savings in OpEx over five years. Additionally, total cost of ownership for IP aggregation in mobile backhaul applications can see reductions of up to 50% in CapEx and 70% in OpEx.
What are the sustainability benefits of this architecture?
Routed Optical Networking supports sustainability by increasing capacity and scalability while reducing the network's footprint and power consumption. Modeling shows potential power reductions of up to 45% and real estate savings of up to 70%. The architecture also minimizes material use in packaging and promotes recyclable materials, aligning with customer carbon dioxide emission goals.
