NGN Routing
NGN technology is fundamental to the foundation of the Internet. This category of technologies interconnects public and
private wireline and mobile networks for mobile, data, voice, and video applications. Our NGN portfolio of hardware and
software solutions consists primarily of routers and routing systems and is designed to meet the scale, reliability, and security
needs of our customers. In our view, our portfolio is differentiated from those of our competitors through the advanced
capabilities, which we sometimes refer to as “intelligence,” that our products provide at each layer of network infrastructure to
deliver performance in the transmission of information and media-rich applications.
As to specific products, we offer a broad range of hardware and software solutions, from core network infrastructure and
mobile network for service providers and enterprises, to access routers for branch offices and for telecommuters and
consumers at home. Key product areas within our NGN Routing category are as follows:
High-End Routers Midrange and Low-End Routers Other NGN Routing
Cisco Aggregation Services Routers
(ASRs):
Cisco Integrated Services Routers
(ISRs):
Optical networking products:
• Cisco ASR 901 and 903 Series • Cisco 800 Series ISR Other routing products
• Cisco ASR 1000 Series • Cisco 1900 Series ISR
• Cisco ASR 5000 and 5500 Series • Cisco 2900 Series ISR
• Cisco ASR 9000 Series • Cisco 3900 Series ISR
• Cisco ISR-AX
Cisco Carrier Routing Systems (CRS):
• Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Router
• Cisco CRS-3 Multishelf System
• Cisco CRS-X
• Cisco 7600 Series
Cisco Quantum Software Suite
Small cell access routers
Within our high-end routing category, we experienced continued adoption of our edge and mobile routing offerings, consisting
of our Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers and Cisco ASR 5500 products during fiscal 2013. Additionally, we made strategic
acquisitions to further develop our differentiated software solutions consisting of wide-area-networking (WAN) orchestration,
self-optimizing network (SON), and policy-based routing (PBR) which comprise the Cisco Quantum Software Suite offering,
and we enhanced our small cell router portfolio with the Ubiquisys Limited acquisition. We continue to provide further
enhancements to our NGN Routing portfolio through our architectural approach, which seeks to combine silicon, systems and
software to enable the next-generation IoE and compelling new experiences for consumers, new revenue opportunities for
service providers, and new ways to collaborate in the workplace.
