It enables Carrier Ethernet service providers to deploy an advanced network infrastructure that supports a range of IP video and triple-play (voice, video, and data) system applications in both the residential and business services markets. The Cisco 7606-S also delivers WAN and metropolitan-area network (MAN) networking solutions at the enterprise edge. With a powerful combination of speed and services in a compact form factor, the Cisco 7606-S is an outstanding choice for multiple applications. Whether deployed as a high-speed WAN aggregator, as a device for peering, as a residential broadband services aggregator, or as a device for Metro Ethernet aggregation and uplink, the Cisco 7606-S meets requirements for redundancy, high availability, and rack density. In the point-of-presence (POP) data center or the metropolitan network, the Cisco 7606-S sets new standards as part of the industry-leading Cisco 7600 Series Routers.
