Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Routers

The Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Routers are environmentally hardened, high-speed, low-power-consumption routers optimized for any-generation cell-site Radio Access Network (RAN) backhaul and Ethernet access. By using Cisco ASR 901 routers, operators can reduce backhaul operating costs, simplify and converge their RAN and Ethernet access networks, and enhance their profit opportunities with mobile and premium Ethernet services.
RAN cell sites are places of transformation between mobile radio and mobile transport networks. Cost-effective RAN backhaul requires the ability to simultaneously aggregate the transport of traffic from both traditional and next-generation radios across multiple transport options available at the cell site. The Cisco ASR 901 routers are designed to minimize operating costs and optimize this radio-to-transport transformation through scalable timedivision multiplexing (TDM) and IP/Ethernet interfaces for any combination of multivendor, multigeneration radios and transport networks.

Product Overview
The Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Routers are compact cell-site and Ethernet access routers specifically designed to clock, aggregate, and backhaul mixed-generation RAN traffic. Cisco ASR 901 routers prioritize and process cell-site voice, data, and signaling traffic as part of the Cisco Unified RAN Backhaul solution for reliable transport across any available backhaul networks, including T1/E1, ATM, Carrier Ethernet, microwave, WiMAX, and service provider Wi-Fi networks. Designed for cell sites and Carrier Ethernet access, the Cisco ASR 901 differentiating features include:

Low power consumption Line rate performance for all Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces Flexible clocking options: TDM, Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS), GPS (10Mhz, 1PPS/ToD),1588v2, and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE)

Extended operating temperatures Small form factor: 1 rack unit (RU) with 8.3 - 9.1 in. depth Redundant power and cooling

Major Applications
Cell-Site Backhaul for Mobile Applications
Deployed as cell-site routers for mobile backhaul, the Cisco ASR 901 routers can aggregate multiple base stations through multiple TDM, Ethernet, and IP interfaces, and can use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP), Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN), Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN), and other common transport protocols for RAN backhaul. Essentially, the routers prioritize, differentiate, and segment any combination of 2G, 3G, or 4G traffic for backhaul over any combination of IP/Ethernet and TDM (E1/T1) infrastructures (copper, microwave, or optical).

Metro Ethernet Access

Cisco ASR 901 routers allow service providers to simultaneously manage and operate Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge (PWE3) and Carrier Ethernet environments by supporting line-rate Layer 2 Ethernet operations, administration, and maintenance (EOAM), including Connectivity Fault Management (CFM), Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI), REP, QinQ, and link aggregation.

Business Access Device

Cisco ASR 901 routers are optimized for remote-access and small aggregation sites where a fully featured, compact access platform is needed. The routers offer business service flexibility using an Ethernet virtual circuit (EVC) infrastructure and deliver Layer 2, IP, and MPLS transport for advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services.

Benefits
Cisco ASR 901 routers help service providers deliver advanced services and reduce operating costs for mobile backhaul and Carrier Ethernet access solutions. Highlights include the following.

Green Hardware
Cisco ASR 901 routers help service providers reduce operating costs by optimizing energy efficiency, allowing cost-effective and responsible resource management. The routers are designed for low power consumption with Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant, lead-free components. An indirect benefit is a significant reduction of carbon emissions.

Comprehensive Services
With the Cisco ASR 901 routers, services can be prioritized and differentiated through hierarchical quality of service (HQoS) and security attributes. The routers offer advanced traffic analytics and performance monitoring and control, including per-traffic-class metering, bidirectional packets, and byte statistics. The service offering is enhanced with comprehensive OAM functionality, including Layer 2 CFM, IP service-level agreements (SLAs) for Layer 3, and MPLS OAM and TDM advanced timing and synchronization.

Service Scalability
The Cisco ASR 901 routers deliver line-rate performance and flexible service scalability in a compact form factor. With support for up to 32,000 MAC addresses, up to 4000 bridge domains, and multiple hierarchical queues, the routers deliver high performance and scale for all mobile and Carrier Ethernet services.

Advanced Timing
The Cisco ASR 901 routers provide the timing services required in todays converged access networks by offering integrated support for the BITS, 10-MHz, 1 Pulse Per Second (PPS), and Time of Day (ToD) interfaces. The routers support SyncE on copper and optical ports and IEEE1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) clock recovery from T1/E1 ports.

Network Simplification
Cisco network virtualization (nV) technology can simplify network operations by reducing the number of components that must be managed, supporting easier configuration. The result is increased network scalability, improved service velocity, and lower operating costs. The nV-capable Cisco ASR 901 routers can be deployed as satellites of a Cisco ASR 9000 Series system to reduce the complexity of todays mobile Internet networks.

Cisco IOS Software Feature License Base

Flexible Software Options

Cisco ASR 901 routers support the Cisco IOS Software Activation feature. With this feature, Cisco IOS Software feature sets can be activated by Cisco software licenses, providing a pay as services grow model. This model allows service providers to invest in software resources only when their businesses need it. The Cisco ASR 901 routers offer two Cisco IOS Software feature licenses. Each license enables feature activation on a per-chassis basis.

The Base license includes support for Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, Sync-E, and 1588 Ordinary Clock. The Advanced IP Metro license adds the following capabilities to the Base license: TDM, MPLS, CESoPSN pseudowires, MPLS VPN support, Ethernet pseudowires and pseudowire redundancy.

DSPR Technical Requirement 2005 IEEE 802.3 IEEE 802.3ae DSPR Technical Condition 2004 IEEE-802.3ah ANSI X3.263-1995 ISO/IEC 9314-3

The TDM ports (A901-12C-FT-D, A901-4C-FT-D, A901-6CZ-FT-D, and A901-6CZ-FT-A) and BITS ports require the use of shielded twisted pair cabling (STP) for EMC emissions. The copper Ethernet ports require the use of STP cabling for NEBS EMC compliance. The TDM ports (A901-12C-FT-D, A901-4C-FT-D, A901-6CZ-FT-D, and A901-6CZ-FT-A) and BITS ports are Type-2 and Type-4 NEBS compliant.
