NPT 2400 – XDR Router Family

High-performance metro edge aggregation router

The NPT 2400 is a high-capacity, high-performance

aggregation router, designed to provide aggregation and
transport for services, applications and architectures
requiring a performance/cost optimized solution.

A 4.8T non-blocking switch capacity, high 100G fan-out, 6x400G client/line interfaces and 2RU form factor mean the NPT 2400
provides has the performance and interfaces required at the metro edge aggregation sites in xHaul, Broadband backhaul and CIN
networks. The full set of IP/MPLS/MPLS-TP/Segment routing transport capabilities provided by Ribbon’s IP Wave rNOS allow the NPT
2400 to meet the service performance needs (SLAs) at these aggregation sites, on a service-by-service basis. 5G-specific functionality
such as 5G specific interfaces and Class C timing mean the NPT 2400 is ideally suited at aggregation sites in xHaul specific
networks, or in multiservice networks where mobile xHaul and fixed broadband backhaul is supported. Redundant and hot-swappable
components, and a high port density design allow the 2400 to deliver high system reliability.

The NPT 2400 provides an extensive number of coherent, OpenZR+ compliant, interfaces for 100G/200G and 400G providing it with
the IPoDWDM and/or IPoOLS capabilities essential in today’s metro aggregation network.

The NPT 2400 can be deployed as either a fully integrated or as a disaggregated router. This flexibility is achieved with Ribbon’s IP
Wave rNOS providing the network operating systems (NOS) and the NPT 2400s full compliance to the standard ONIE installation
environment allowing the IP Wave rNOS to be operated on approved, certified, ODM hardware.

With its high-capacity, high-performance and rich and robust feature-set, the NPT 2400 is well suited for a wide variety of applications
and networking scenarios, including:

• 5G Aggregation Router providing 5G-specific functionality, including Class C timing, Segment Routing, Flex-Algo, EVPN, and 5G
interfaces
• Metro Edge Aggregation for Broadband Backhaul, providing high capacity, high performance and high scale routing, a full set of
IP/MPLS capabilities, and optimized service-aware support for voice, video, and data services and with high capacity,
• Metro Edge Aggregation for Business Services, offering a full range of Ethernet interfaces as well as a full set of IP protocols,
including EVPN and segment routing, to ensure service transport meets SLAs on a per service basis
• High-Capacity Switch for CIN networks, providing the fanout, interface speeds and full range of Ethernet interfaces as well as the
full set of IP protocols, including EVPN and segment routing, required by a high-capacity CIN switch in a regional hub or as a Spine
in a leaf-spine architecture in a primary hub
• Converged Multi-access Edge, with support for 5G, broadband backhaul, business services, IPoDWDM, all from a
single converged metro edge aggregation platform
• TDM Migration (future option with eEXT-2UH), supporting migration of voice trunk and legacy services with circuit emulation
services (CES), mapping a full range of legacy TDM interface speeds onto the packet switched network (PSN)
