The Cisco MGX 8950 ATM multiservice switch scales service provider networks by providing 180 Gbps
of redundant switching with 10 Gbps ATM interfaces.
The Cisco MGX 8830 ATM multiservice switch extends a full suite of narrowband interfaces and
broadband trunking to remote sites with low density and high service mix requirements. Using PNNI and
MPLS, the MGX 8830 provides a flexible network for services evolution. With a switching capacity of
up to 1.2 Gbps, the MGX 8830 acts as a standalone switch, offering a full range of service interfaces.
The MGX 8850/B model supports all of the same features with 1:N redundancy.
The Cisco MGX 8880 Media Gateway is part of the Cisco IP/MPLS product portfolio that offers service
providers the capability to consolidate their core infrastructure and deliver differentiated IP
Communications services. With superior density, scalability, and performance, the Cisco MGX 8880
Media Gateway helps service providers to deploy a comprehensive set of voice over IP (VoIP)
applications that help lower operational expenses and generate new services revenue. The DC version of
this gateway allows three gateways to fit in a rack.
