Overview
The Cisco Visual Network Index™ predicts that by 2023, 5G speeds will be 13 times higher than the average
mobile connection and 66% of the global population will have internet access. There will be nearly 30 billion
devices/connections by 2023 – 45% of those will be mobile and average broadband speeds will rise from 46
Mbps to 110 Mbps. With millions of users and devices connecting to the network, the demands on the service
provider network will not be limited to higher bandwidth at lower operating costs but will also require the
capabilities to support new applications such as pervasive mobile broadband, massive IoT, tactile internet,
smart city and virtual reality.

The Cisco® Network Convergence System 540 Medium Density Routers (NCS 540) are designed for cost-
effective delivery of next-generation services and applications. These routers are temperature-hardened, high-
throughput, small form factor, low-power-consumption devices suitable for both outdoor and indoor
deployments. With in-built trust anchor hardware infrastructure and anti-counterfeit protection along with
software enabled security features, NCS 540 is most trusted and secured platform. They are powered by the
industry-leading carrier-class version of Cisco IOS XR software designed for operational efficiency and service
agility. Cisco IOS XR software offers advanced features such as programmability, application awareness,
network visibility, and automation. The Cisco NCS 540 series of routers is an intelligent converged access
platform which enables service providers to deliver next-level business and entertainment experiences.
