industry's highest density and petabit-class performance
- No-compromise design delivers performance needed for immersive
experiences with the security and intelligence required to support
connecting and automating billions of devices
- Platforms powered by advanced Nokia new FP4 silicon - the
world's first multi-terabit chipset, up to 6x more powerful than

14 June, 2017
Espoo, Finland and San Francisco - Nokia today unveiled
the world's most powerful internet routing platforms that will
ensure modern networks are faster, safer and dramatically more
adaptable. Nokia FP4 silicon provides a generational performance
boost over existing solutions while delivering improved network
security and intelligence.
The "next chapter" of the internet, including immersive
communications, Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial
intelligence/automation, will again boost productivity and further
transform the way we work and how we live. It will also place fresh
demands on the network. In addition to continued rapid growth in
video traffic driven largely by social networking and content, the
upcoming era will add dimensions of scale, create new security
threats, and require more agility in network operations.
Nokia Bell Labs forecasts IP traffic will more than double in
the next five years, reaching 330 exabytes a month by 2022 while
growing at 25 percent compound annual growth rates. Peak data rates
will grow even faster, at nearly 40 percent annually. This surge is
a direct result of insatiable consumer and business demand for
services - including high-definition video streaming and, more
recently, virtual reality - combined with the advent of high-speed,
low-latency networks that connect people and things. Nokia Bell
Labs expects this latter market to reach 100 billion connected
devices by 2025.
This new set of challenges will require a re-think of the
internet infrastructure. According to Basil Alwan, president of the
ION Business Group at Nokia, "The internet platform is set to fully
subsume HD on-demand video while simultaneously expanding with
connectivity to billions of new devices. Stepping forward demands
an immense performance increase, vastly improved insight and
security and, of course, compelling economics. With today's
announcement, we are delivering the technology advances needed to
support this evolution. The end game is all-important: an evolved
global nervous system for society and certainly the most capable,
cost-effective, resilient and secure infrastructure ever
built."
World's Most Powerful Routing Platforms
The Nokia 7750 Service Router (SR)-s series provides the
industry's highest-density routing platform that can support a 144
Tb/s configuration in a single shelf.
In addition, the company introduces a petabit-class router, the
new Nokia 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS)-XC. A leap for
Nokia's core router family and the industry, it is the world's
highest-capacity router to date. It scales to 576 Tb/s in a single
system through chassis extension, without requiring separate
switching shelves.
The new Nokia platforms are the industry's first capable of
delivering terabit IP flows, a 10x improvement over the existing
100 Gb/s links used to construct the internet backbone.
A Smarter and More Secure Internet
Nokia has also integrated the optimal blend of capacity and
performance with deep visibility, fine-grained control, telemetry
and security into its new FP4-based routing platforms. This ensures
modern networking systems of webscale companies and service
providers can meet data demand, adapt to change, and scale
cost-effectively and securely for the cloud, 5G and IoT.
Enhanced packet intelligence and control technology embedded in
the FP4 - when combined with Nokia's Deepfield IP network analytics
solution and comprehensive SDN portfolio - maximizes efficiency and
opportunity while minimizing and mitigating security threats. This
includes DDoS attacks, which impact productivity and commerce and
are growing in number and impact each year. According to Deloitte
Global's TMT predictions, over 10 million attacks are expected in
2017.
Nokia's FP4 Silicon Innovation
The foundation of these new systems is FP4 silicon, a
breakthrough networking chipset. FP4 features the world's first 2.4
Tb/s network processor - up to 6x more powerful than processors
currently available - opening the door to clear-channel terabit
speeds and petabit-class routers.
This innovation is the result of years of engineering and
research and leverages the latest advances in silicon including
16nm FinFET Plus and multi-dimensional design. The FP4 design also
delivers many architectural innovations, including novel
Nokia-invented intelligent memory, that enhance performance and
efficiency, all while minimizing package size.
Nokia innovation key facts:
- Nokia FP4 is the industry's first 2.4 Tb/s network
processor silicon
- Industry-first support for terabit IP flows
- Industry's first petabit-class router with Nokia XRS-XC
delivering 576 Tb/s of capacity
- New Nokia 7750 SR-s platforms provide highest density. The
single-shelf Nokia 7750 SR-14s supports a 144 Tb/s
configuration, and can scale up to 288 Tb/s in capacity
- Up to 6x increase in capacity of existing platforms
provides investment protection for broadly deployed systems
- Unique enhanced packet intelligence and control capabilities to
provide deep visibility and fine-grained control, improving quality
of experience as well as asset utilization
Nokia will begin shipping the solution in Q4 2017.
Neil McRae, BT Managing Director and Chief Architect,
said: "Every day the networks we build enable our customers and
communities to come together and share - from the simplest task of
booking dinner for family and friends online to seeing the first
picture of your newly born granddaughter. The network has changed
our world in ways we never imagined. At BT, being the best network
that's there for you when you need it is at the core of our
purpose. With demand continuing to rocket, together with more
cloud-based applications, innovations like Nokia's new FP4 silicon
and routing platforms allow us to maintain our commitment to our
customers by balancing capacity, intelligence, visibility and
security, so we can transform to an insight-driven, automated
networking approach for building and operating our networks. And
because these innovations also work with existing platforms, we can
gracefully evolve our existing networks to complement new builds to
prepare for the next wave of ultrafast broadband, 5G, IoT and
machine communications."
Daniel Melzer, CTO for DE-CIX, said: "As the world's
leading internet exchange operator, DE-CIX values Nokia's
multi-terabit FP4 silicon innovation that drives best-in-class
capacity, density and efficiency in 7950 XRS routing platforms.
DE-CIX continues its partnership with Nokia to deploy the world's
biggest and most capable routers at the heart of our exchange. We
look forward to being among the very first to deploy the new
systems later this year."
Ray Mota, CEO & principal analyst, ACG Research,
said: "Webscale operators are building bigger networks to
connect resources across the globe and bring data centers closer to
users for the highest performance. Nokia has managed to combine the
raw horsepower required to run historic amounts of traffic between
data centers with intelligent, secure and adaptable capabilities
necessary for a cloud-connected environment. The company has
seemingly struck the right balance with silicon and systems
innovations that address investment protection and now has the
fastest router on the market."
Michael Howard, senior research director, Carrier Networks,
IHS Markit, said: "Leading network operators everywhere are
adopting big data analytics and software-driven automation to
evolve to a modern way of building and operating IP networks - no
question! Operators are looking for a very high-performance network
that provides not just the requisite jacked-up power and capacity,
but they also need intelligence and extensibility to meet their
goals of automation and service agility. Operators will want to
examine the new Nokia FP4 silicon and the systems that use it - as
it delivers against this triplet of critical network capabilities -
to support their offered services in this cloud age with IoT, 5G,
and machine communications, where networks must become bigger, more
adaptable and more secure than any we've seen to date."
Frank Ostojic, senior vice president and general manager,
ASIC Products Division, Broadcom, said: "Nokia is setting the
pace with their FP4 network processor. When it comes to the highest
levels of integration and use of cutting edge silicon technologies,
including 16nm finFET Plus process technology, Broadcom's
industry-leading embedded SerDes, and advanced packaging, Nokia is
charting a course that others will have to follow."
