ASR8000

WAYSTREAM ACCESS SWITCH

The ASR8000 is a Layer 3 switch with up to 52 ports of 10Gbit/s Ethernet designed for fiber broadband networks to deliver data, voice and video services. The models also have 4 uplinks that support either 10Gbit/s or 25Gbit/s (ASR8600 series).

The ASR8000 is a hybrid architecture, including both a switch ASIC for up to wire-speed performance and a network processor (NPU) for advanced service features and unique troubleshooting tools.

Built in a small form factor with unique front-to-side airflow, the ASR8000 is a reliable platform for service delivery over many years. Extended temperature versions allow deployment into harsh installation environments and all connectors in the front provides easy access.

The ASR8000 runs Waystream iBOS operating system, a feature rich and reliable software that provide advanced service features such as ingress/egress shaping with Weighted Fair Queuing and quality measurement and analysis of multicast TV. Various layer 2 and layer 3 features support public and private networks, wholesale, layer 2 overlay and redundant networking for building highly available FTTx networks for business and residential users.

Waystream access switches are designed for fiber-to-the-home networks. A small form-factor, front-to-side airflow and a unique network processor/ASIC architecture provides a blend of features to make FTTH networks reliable and easy to operate.

Waystream recommends using Waystream SFP:s for optimal performance and system availability, ensuring the best compatibility with our switches. For those aiming to reduce their environmental impact, we also offer ultra-low power SFP:s designed to minimize the carbon dioxide equivalent footprint. While Waystream
switches are open to the use of third-party SFP:s, the quality of these SFP:s can vary significantly, and as such, we cannot guarantee their compatibility or performance with our equipment. To help evaluate compatibility, Waystream offers a “3rd Party SFP Interop Evaluation Service,” where we can test the interoperability of a preferred third-party SFP with our switches. If this service is not used, we cannot guarantee the functionality of the third-party SFPs with our equipment, and they will remain unsupported.
