Nokia 7250 IXR-e series

Interconnect Routers
Release 19

Routers in the Nokia 7250 Interconnect Router (IXR)-e series1 are used for
access and aggregation and as 5G multi-access edge computing (MEC) leaf
nodes. They are ideal for IP anyhaul and fixed–mobile convergence.

Ready for growth

The 7250 IXR-e series features high system
throughput and a variety of interfaces. 100GE ports
used for high-speed uplinks enable cost-effective 7250 IXR-e 2QSFP28 8SFP28 24SFP+
100GE ring architectures. They support 4 x 10GE
or 4 x 25GE breakouts, allowing for exceptional
flexibility in a variety of deployment configurations.
5G mobile and telco cloud infrastructures are moving
toward 25GE interfaces. On the 7250 IXR-e series, the
native 25GE ports are capable of supporting 1GE, 7250 IXR-e 14SFP+ 4RJ45
10GE or 25GE transceivers. Combined with support
for GE SFPs in all SFP+ cages, the 7250 IXR-e allows
for seamless migrations from 1GE to 10GE to 25GE Differentiated
rates without the need to replace the router.

7250 IXR-e systems consume approximately 15%
less power than equivalent competing systems.
Mass deployments for 5G will benefit significantly
from this green design.

1 The 7250 IXR-e series is part of the 7250 IXR product family. Additional data sheets are available for other models in this product family.
