The Cisco 8010 Series Medium Density Fixed Routers are designed to provide high-performance, scalable, and secure networking solutions tailored for cell site routing and dense metro access environments. Powered by the Cisco Silicon One A100 ASIC, these routers extend the unified Silicon One architecture to a broader range of the networking market, ensuring consistent scalability from web-scale data centers to service provider infrastructures.
Built on the robust and carrier-class Cisco IOS XR operating system, the 8010 Series is optimized for Agile Network Services. This foundation allows for operational simplicity and dynamic service provisioning, making it an ideal choice for modern mobile backhaul, 5G transport, and secure enterprise VPN applications. The series is engineered to meet rigorous transport and security requirements while maintaining high levels of efficiency.
Product overview
The Cisco 8010 Series includes two primary models: the 8011-12G12X4Y-A and the 8011-12G12X4Y-D. These routers feature a compact 1 Rack Unit (1RU) fixed form factor and offer versatile interface options, including 1G, 10G, and 25G Ethernet connectivity. To ensure reliability in diverse environments, the hardware is designed for industrial-temperature (I-Temp) operation and can be deployed in both indoor and outdoor settings, including sealed cabinets that meet GR-487 thermal management specifications.
Beyond physical connectivity, the series excels in security and precision timing. It supports full-stack encryption, including line-rate MACsec and IPsec, to protect data across the network. Furthermore, the routers provide advanced timing capabilities, such as G.8273.2 Class C compliance and modular GNSS support, which are critical for the low-latency and high-precision demands of 5G services. The platform also utilizes the Flexible Consumption Model (FCM) 2.0, allowing organizations to manage hardware, Right to Use (RTU), and System-Level Software Innovation Access (SIA) more effectively.
