Cisco NCS 1002 Product Overview

The Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 1002 is a 2 RU system that delivers fully programmable, high-bandwidth capacity (up to 250 Gbps) wavelengths over distances exceeding 3000 km using existing fiber. Powered by the industry-leading Cisco IOS XR operating system, Cisco NCS 1002 offers robust functions such as third party application hosting, machine-to-machine interface, telemetry and flexible package delivery.

NCS 1002 delivers the following benefits:

  • Supports up to 2 Tbps capacity

  • Transports 100, 200, or 250Gbps per wavelength on the same platform through software provisioning

  • Transports 10 GE, 40 GE, and 100 GE on the same platform through software provisioning

  • Supports grid-less tuning for flex-grid dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM)

  • Supports different modulation formats (PM-QPSK or PM-16QAM)

  • Supports 7% or 20% Soft Decision (SD) FEC for maximum optical performance

  • Allows for automated installation, configuration and monitoring

  • Supports machine-to-machine (M2M) APIs based on YANG models for ease of configuration

  • Supports a telemetry agent for a pub-sub model of device monitoring
