Network communications platform
Ericsson
Leveraging the network economics of Carrier Ethernet, the SM 480 enables operators to offer revenue-generating services using their technology of choice for connectivity in a packet-based network.
Key Benefits
The SM 480 sets a new industry benchmark for E-LINE/E-LAN service scalability and low-power consumption. Purpose-built for the metro core transport, the SM 480 is an ideal aggregator of high-speed uplinks from the metro access. With a maximum port density of 240 ports of Gigabit Ethernet or 48 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, its massive bandwidth capacity and fully distributed control plane architecture further enable it to serve as a central platform for switching a quarter million E-LINE circuits and a million-plus E-LAN customers.
