FEATURES AND BENEFITS options
The 8609 Smart Router has a packet-based forwarding architecture with QoS
awareness, enabling network optimization for voice and data services in LTE and 3G
networks. The advanced quality of service features enable the differentiation of real-
time voice and video services from premium and best effort data services. The unique
Packet Loop Test feature, which is part of the Coriant Smart Router product portfolio,
and the Coriant™ 8000 Intelligent Network Manager (INM), helps to analyze delay,
jitter, throughput and connectivity parameters.

REMARKABLE THROUGHPUT
Environmentally hardened, the 8609 Smart Router offers 12 fixed Gigabit Ethernet
ports and two slots for interface modules providing throughput up to 7.5 Gbps and 5.5
Gbps with Simple IMIX packet size distribution. This makes the 8609 Smart Router
optimal for cell and aggregation sites.

ROBUST SYNCHRONIZATION
The 8609 Smart Router supports a high quality Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator
(OCXO), which provides excellent temperature stability for IEEE 1588v2 and adaptive
timing recovery. It also provides a highly stable node clock holdover. In addition to
adaptive timing and IEEE 1588v2 clock recovery mechanisms, node timing can be
obtained from a BITS or GPS source, any PDH, SONET/SDH interface, or any of the
synchronous Ethernet interfaces. The 8609 Smart Router supports the transition
from TDM to packet synchronization in a controlled way by verifying the packet
synchronization performance with professional tools.

Eliminating the need for separate E1/T1s used only for synchronization at every cell
site, the Coriant 8609 Smart Router solution provides a cost-optimized solution
which is independent from the legacy network. The 8609 Smart Router also supports
IEEE1588v2 Boundary Clock for phase synchronization which is required for LTE
Time-Division Duplex (LTE TDD) and LTE Advanced. Phase synchronization can also
be provided using the unique Coriant Integrated GPS (GNSS) Receiver which is
supported by the Coriant™ 8615 Smart Router.
 The Smart Router Series
The Smart Router series offers versatile and scalable solutions for mobile backhaul from small aggregation sites to controller
and gateway sites. In addition, Smart Routers serve fixed and mobile convergence and cloud computing networking needs.
These solutions are designed to meet the ever-growing requirements of data hungry mobile and enterprise users. All of the
Smart Routers are LTE-ready and provide an extensive Ethernet and IP/MPLS feature set. Simultaneous support for multiservice
applications in access and aggregation networks protects earlier network investments. The Smart Router product family is
supported by the 8000 INM, which is an easy to use end-to-end network management solution. The 8000 INM minimizes
operational and maintenance costs and scales up to tens of thousands of network elements.
