Modularity extends beyond hardware
The modularity of the system extends beyond hardware. Powered by AXOS, the E9-2 Intelligent Access System delivers on the promise of Software Defined Access. The fast, always-on, and simple network provides a stateful system that allows incremental enhancements or feature additions.
The AXOS componentized nature ensures the E9-2 is ideally suited for virtualized functions in a complex network environment. The E9-2 with AXOS can accelerate network transformation by seamlessly coexisting with virtualized architectures, ultimately driving operational complexity and cost out of networks.
Fast. Always on. Simple
With AXOS, back office integration has never been easier. Use AXOS Sandbox to build a virtual edge-to-edge Software Defined Access network that speeds OSS integration and software certification with dramatic economic results.
As networks continue to grow, operators face a variety of architectural challenges leveraging the best of Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking.
Learn how service providers are taking advantage of techniques including Layer 2 VPNs and MPLS, VRRP, and ECMP to move network routing closer to the subscriber edge.
