SWITCH 6391
Advanced Ethernet Switch
The increasing demand on coverage as well as capacity
growth, to support todays and future network evolution,
requires flexible solutions to secure low total cost of
ownership. Building an efficient backhaul network with
end-to-end performance in mind, requires high node
capacity, compact and modular building practice,
advanced packet functionality and features that are
aligned and backward-compatible across different
network nodes.
Ericsson is the market leader in microwave transmission
and has over 40 years of microwave experience with
more than 3.2 million radio units delivered to over 175
countries.
The Ericsson Switch 6391 is a feature complete layer 2
site switch. It supports 2 optical SFP/SFP+ and 4 electrical
Gigabit Ethernet ports and has a forwarding capacity of 25
Gbps. It is ideally suited for mobile backhaul, small cell
applications and business access.
The Switch 6391 is compact, environmentally hardened,
low-power-consumption switch that you can install in an
outside plant without an enclosure.
The modular building practice with the combination of
Switch 6391 and MINI-LINK 6351 provides lowest possible
total cost of ownership for small cell applications. The
Switch 6391 also supports flexibility and efficient network
building when additional interfaces are needed.
