The possible users of the system are telecommunication carriers, mobile communication carriers, ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and ASPs (Application Services Providers).

The major features of the new products CX4210, CX4220 are as follows:

These edge routers are the first in the industry to realize both line aggregation function and IP service function in a single router. This means, service providers can employ this system with 1/10 of current operation cost. It also achieves the highest-level QoS. It supports various interfaces up to OC-48 2.5 Gbps interface and each line interface offers flexible and rich broadband QoS with Diffserv Class of Service and MPLS path instruction. As a result, the router offers a broad range of services from best-effort Internet to high quality, guaranteed internet service. The router also supports IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack capability at every interface up to 10Gbps. It’s architecture is fully redundant thus achieving the industry first non-stop/non-service affecting system upgrade and maintenance.

NEC’s CX series lineup includes a full-scale of systems to achieve IP networking solution, from middle to large-scale IP switching routers, internet access nodes, media gateway and IP infrastructure servers such as QoS server, Call Agent, Gate Keeper, Policy Server, Radius Server, Signaling gateway and Network Management server. With other CX series products, NEC’s new edge routers are offering the best solutions for the new era of IP networks. Real-time applications requiring guaranteed bandwidth and high QoS such as e-commerce/online financial transactions, medical services, real-time image/video transmissions/monitoring and also emergency calls will be achieved in a highly reliable and cost-effective manner. Multiple QoSs from current best effort IP networks to high-quality flexible real time QoS can be achieved over the entire network without the degradation of existing telecommunications services. Large quantities of IP network communication to/from fixed and mobile networks can be handled with the same QoS level as the traditional legacy fixed/mobile networks.
