CBX Multiservice Edge Switch
Portfolio
Evolve the multiservice edge
to increase the profitability
of existing and new services
and reduce total cost of
network ownership.
Benefits
• Maximize profitability and flexibility to grow existing
services and add new, high demand services
• Efficiently converge and interwork multiple services
across an IP/MPLS core while preserving QoS and SLAs
• Deliver all services with unprecedented, proven carrier-
class reliability, availability, and performance
• Simplify network management and reduce operating

• Routing and signaling protection: Distributed routing
and signaling control help avoid single points of
failure. If a network or service disruption occurs,
priority-based routing of hundreds of thousands of
circuits per second quickly restores services.

hardware failures and reduce network downtime. If a
failure occurs, automatic failover, Stratum 3 holdover
timing, and hot-swappable modules can restore
services quickly without losing data.
