Tellabs® 8609 Smart Router

Modular access router with remarkable switching and interface capacity for LTE - coupled
with extensive multiservice support
Tellabs® Smart Routers
Tellabs® Smart Routers offer versatile and scalable solutions for
mobile backhaul from small aggregation sites to controller and
gateway sites. In addition, Tellabs routers serve fixed and mobile
convergence and cloud computing networking needs. The solutions
are designed to meet the ever-growing requirements of data hungry
mobile and enterprise users. All the Tellabs Smart Router platforms
are LTE-ready and provide an extensive Ethernet and IP/MPLS
feature set. Simultaneous support for multiservice applications
in access and aggregation networks protects earlier network
investments. The Smart Routers product family is supported by The Tellabs 8609 router has a packet-based forwarding architecture with QoS
