Once again, Cisco has geared up its ASR 9000 Series Routers with greater functionality, throughput, and scale in a smaller, more efficient package. The new 5th generation line card gives service providers the performance punch they need to meet unprecedented bandwidth demand. 

But what about providers with prior-generation ASR Routers who aren’t ready to turn up all that bandwidth? Cisco has them covered. Ports on the new line card can be activated only when needed, even within ASR chassis installed ten years ago. 

In Cisco ASR 9000: The Innovation Never Stops, host Robb Boyd sits down with Cisco’s Kevin Wollenweber, Shahzad Burney, and Gautam Renjen to break down the silicon, software, and pricing advantages of the new 5th generation line card.
