Cisco AS5400 Series
Universal Gateways
Cisco AS5400 Series Universal Gateways offer unparalleled capacity in only two rack units (RUs) with universal port data, voice, wireless, and fax services on any port at any time.
High-density (up to 1 CT3), low power consumption (7.2A at 48 VDC per CT3), and universal port digital signal processors (DSPs) make Cisco AS5400 Series universal gateways ideal for many network deployment architectures, especially colocation environments and mega points of presence (POPs).
The Cisco AS5400 Series consists of two models, the Cisco AS5400HPX and the Cisco AS5400. The gateways share the same architecture; the primary difference is the processing capability of the two platforms. The AS5400HPX provides enhanced performance for processor intensive voice and fax applications.
Cisco AS5400 Series support a wide range of IP-based value-added services such as high-volume Internet access, regional/branch-office connectivity, corporate virtual private networks (VPNs), mobile wireless solutions, long distance for Internet service providers (ISPs), international wholesale long distance, distributed prepaid calling, Signaling System 7 (SS7) interconnect, and enhanced voice services.
