Telecom network vendor Alcatel-Lucent will unveil 7750 SR-e service router for mobile operators and enterprises for their IP routing needs.

Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR-e, with full IP edge routing capability in a mid-size form factor, will be useful in addressing demands from use cases such as Internet of Things (IoT), ultra-high definition video and bandwidth-hungry apps on Fiber-to-the-Home, Wi-Fi, LTE and LTE-Advanced networks.

The launch of 7750 SR-e builds on the success of the 7750 service routers, including the 7750 SR-a series.

Alcatel-Lucent said the 7750 SR-a has attracted over 60 new customers in its first three months of availability, including India’s Bharti Airtel and Indonesia’s Indosat.

Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR-e
# Variants include SR-1e (400Gb/s), SR-2e (800 Gb/s) and SR-3e (1.2 Tb/s). Supports GE, 10GE and 100GE interfaces
# The routers sit between the 7750 SR and 7750 SR-a. The SR-e series fills the demand for a lower end 100G-capable box but offers more capability than the SR-a variant
# The 7750 SR-e is cloud-ready and a key element supporting the evolution of networking to NFV and SDN
# Has a unique chassis air flow design for efficient cooling and reduced fan noise while paving the way for future capacity growth

“We are using Alcatel-Lucent’s 7750 SR-a platforms as aggregation and edge nodes in our mobile backhaul network. One of the key reasons we selected this platform is due to its much higher throughput, service and routing scale compared to other platforms on the market,” said John M. Thompson, chief technology officer at Indosat.

“The compact 7750 SR-a allows us to drive down costs and still meet our escalating traffic demands which are increasing well over 100 percent year-over-year,” Thompson said.
