The innovative T-8104 is built from the ground up to be the most adaptable and dependable aggregation platform on the market, designed to serve an array of current and evolving use cases such as Off Net aggregation and mobile backhaul (MBH).

First of Its Kind: Telco Systems T-Metro 8104 is composed of a basic, compact, future-proof 2U high and 13.7” deep full rack unit, with optional cards for expanding the number of ports. Its advanced features include 100GE OAM, CPU redundancy,* as well as hot-swappable fans and dual power supplies (AC and DC). Its service scalability, carrier-class resiliency, and advanced features include MPLS, Segment Routing, and Quality of Service (QoS).

The T-Metro 8104 is designed to evolve with you, and to enable you to expand your services at the pace and in the direction that best meets your business strategy. Its flexible architecture and customizable applications are designed to empower your network today and well into the future (5G and MEC ready).

Increase your business agility: Rapidly deploy new services and grow at your own pace. The Telco Systems modular design supports multiple use cases, saves on training, support, and TCO.  

Reduce OPEX and CAPEX: Significantly reduce cost of deployment and management with a single, flexible platform.


100GE MPLS Cloud-based Service Solution

The T-Metro 8104 leverages Telco Systems field-proven, carrier grade BiNOX operating system – common among all its platforms – to provide a robust and advanced multi-layer software platform to support administration and maintenance requirements.

Hardware-based QoS allows for very high QoS granularity that is independent of physical ports or services, while an embedded test head* supports end-to-end SLA measurement and assurance. It also offers advanced OAM, supporting hundreds of services with ITU-T Y.1731 SLM, RFC 2544, and Y.1564 – that all measure the network performance.
