Converged SDN IP transport

By integrating cost effective, high-density routing at 400G, with the proven IOS XR operating system and Open API Automation, Cisco now meets the demands of 5G growth while keeping OpEx under control.

Operators can have confidence in the integrity of their network with trustworthy hardware that validates the authenticy of hardware and software with secure boot processes, cryptographically signed images, and at runtime with encrypted transport.

IOS XR also provides the secure control to move peering and compute to anywhere within the network (between apps, data, workers and customers), while speeding up the ability to instantiate and manage network slices.
