Cisco SRP 500 Series Services Ready Platforms
One box, multiple services: Cisco SRP 500 Series platforms are more than just routers that provide WAN termination. Rather, the firmware has embedded intelligence to support premium revenue-generating services such as voice, data, security, and wireless to offer choice, flexibility, and functionality, along with customized network deployment.
Concurrent services: Cisco SRP 500 Series platforms allow service providers to enable just one service or multiple services, incrementally or all at once.
Business continuity services: 3G data support, built into the Cisco SRP 500 Series Services Ready Platforms, offers service providers an opportunity to provide an “always on” Internet connection and business continuity solutions to small businesses.
Service addition/removal: Service providers can easily create and provision a variety of service offerings, adding or removing them remotely as their customers’ needs change without expensive customer site visits and truck rolls.
Standards-based configuration: Cisco SRP 500 Series platforms support standards-based provisioning such as TR-069. Coupled with XML provisioning, it reduces operating expenses by enabling near zero-touch deployments, remote monitoring, and mass provisioning, eliminating the need for highly skilled technicians and costly truck rolls to deploy new services.
Remote diagnostics: Cisco SRP 500 Series platforms provide easy remote management, allowing troubleshooting and monitoring via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), syslog, or the device’s browser-based management interface.
Hardware: Cisco SRP 500 Series Services Ready Platforms have a compact design that is ideal for simple, space-saving small business deployments.
Ready for Services
High-performance, scalable integrated services and solutions are delivered on Cisco SRP 500
Series Services Ready Platforms via a framework of services building blocks, built on a flexible,
easy-to-manage Linux operating system. Some of the managed services that a service provider
can offer are dedicated Internet access, mobility with 3G data access, voice services, and on-
premises security services.
