Highly modular, flexible, intelligent interface processors Superior flexibility, providing a combination of interface types on the same interface processor for consistent services, independent of access technology. Pioneering programmable interface processors that provide flexibility for the service diversity required in next-generation networks.
Increased speed to service revenue The scalable, programmable Cisco architecture extended to 10 Gbps dramatically improves customer density, increasing potential revenue per platform. Interface breadth (copper, channelized, POS, ATM, and Ethernet) on a modular interface processor allows service providers to roll out services more quickly, helping ensure that all customers large and small receive consistent, secure, and guaranteed services.
Dramatically improved return on your routing investment Improved slot economics and increased density reduce capital expenditures (CapEx). The ability to easily add new interfaces as they are needed enables a "pay-as-you-grow" business model. SPA is shared across multiple platforms, and can be easily moved from one to another, providing consistent feature support, accelerated product delivery, and a significant reduction in operating expenses (OpEx) through common sparing as service needs change.
The Cisco 2-Port OC-3 POS SPA is available on high-end Cisco routing platforms, offering the benefits of network scalability with lower initial costs and easy upgrades.
