The Cisco Network Convergence Systems 540 Fronthaul Aggregation Router (N540-FH-AGG-SYS) is a high-performance, temperature-hardened 1RU platform designed specifically for next-generation 5G mobile transport networks. Part of the Cisco Converged SDN Transport architecture, this router is optimized for fronthaul aggregation, providing dense traffic handling for CPRI, eCPRI, and Radio over Ethernet (RoE). It features a modular design with a powerful 8-core 1.7GHz x86 CPU, 8GB of DRAM, and 32GB of internal storage. The system is built with a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) that allows for flexible adaptation to evolving radio interface specifications. Operating on Cisco IOS XR Software, it supports advanced network automation, programmability, and precise timing synchronization (SyncE and PTP Class C), making it ideal for deployments in harsh environmental conditions ranging from -40°C to +70°C.
