Nokia launches fifth
generation routing silicon, sets new benchmarks for IP
network security and energy efficiency
- Nokia FP5 network processing silicon
delivers a generational leap in IP network capacity and power
efficiency while introducing new capabilities for protecting
network traffic from security threats
- FP5 is the industry’s first high performance routing silicon
delivering integrated line rate encryption for L2, L2.5 and L3
network services at speeds up to 1.6Tbps
- Nokia’s fully programmable network processor is the first to
bring 800GE routing interfaces for service provider applications to
market while retaining the agility to adapt to new
applications
- FP5 sets a new benchmark for sustainability in IP routing with
a 75% reduction in power consumption over previous generations
21 September 2021
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced the launch of
FP5, its fifth generation of
high-performance IP routing
silicon. As the new heart of Nokia’s IP service routing platforms,
FP5 will enable service providers to address today’s unrelenting
requirements to efficiently scale network capacity, enable new
higher speed IP services, and provide unmatched protection against
escalating network security threats. Building upon
four generations of industry-leading network processors, Nokia is
raising the bar by adding support for high density 800GE routing
interfaces, a 75% reduction in power consumption and new embedded
line rate, flow-based encryption
capabilities.
As cloud architectures, 5G and Industry 4.0 continue to drive
network transformation, service providers require mission critical
IP networks to be increasingly secure, agile and sustainable. IP
networks must provide guaranteed high performance and integrity in
the face of growing threats from network-level attacks and security
breaches. They must also be able to adapt to address unforeseen
changes and to support service evolution over the lifespan of the
network. In addition, IP networking equipment must become
increasingly power efficient to minimize impact on the
environment.
With the introduction of Nokia’s fifth generation FP5 network
processing silicon, Nokia brings a new suite of IP routing
solutions to market to help service providers transform mission
critical IP networks to address these new and evolving
requirements.
Nokia has long been at the forefront of providing an embedded
approach to IP network security. With FP4, the company transformed
volumetric DDoS defense with router-based detection and mitigation.
FP5 brings an additional layer of network protection with the
introduction of ‘ANYsec’ - a new line rate, flow-based encryption
capability integrated directly into the chipset. ANYsec supports
the delivery of secure IP services including MPLS and segment
routing, on-demand and at scale without impacting performance or
power efficiency. Service providers can now ensure the integrity
and confidentiality of all data flowing through their networks.
With FP5, Nokia brings a generational leap in router network
capacity to market. Nokia service router platforms are the first to
support high-density 800GE and 1.6 Tb/s clear channel routing
interfaces for applications including mobile transport, IP core,
peering, BNG and provider edge. New FP5-based line cards will
support 14.4 Tb/s (19.2 Tb/s with Nokia’s intelligent aggregation
capability.) A new series of fixed form factor 7750 Service
Router-1 platforms enable the benefits of FP5 to also be realized
in smaller network locations.
Nokia’s FP5 network processors drive down power consumption per
bit by 75%. As FP5 is backwards compatible with FP4 and fully
integrated into the latest versions of Nokia’s Service Router
Operating System (SR OS), all existing features are supported from
day one on the new hardware. Through this aligned hardware and
software evolution strategy, Nokia delivers unmatched and
sustainable investment protection to its customers.
As a fully programmable network processor, FP5 enables the
agility required to evolve the network as standards and
applications change. Its deterministic performance combined with
rich telemetry insight ensure network operators can drive a
maintainable and serviceable IP network both today and into the
future.
Neil McRae, Managing Director and Chief Architect, BT,
said: “BT has a long-standing
relationship with Nokia, and we are pleased to see that with FP5,
Nokia continues to innovate to ensure IP networks have the scale,
flexibility and features to help us stay ahead of escalating demand
from our residential, mobile and business customers. In
particular, we are very happy to see the focus on power
optimization as we grow our network, with both BT and Nokia
committing to significant reduction in carbon footprint. In
the past 18 months, our lives have been turned upside down, and our
reliance on networks has been dramatically increased and
reliability for customers is crucially important. With
security being ever more important for our customers, seeing
Nokia’s approach to building more security features into the
platform is fantastic.”
Hiroyuki Oto, Senior
Vice
President and
General
Manager of Core Network
Development Department, NTT DOCOMO,
INC., said: “Our
network needs to continue to evolve to meet the demands from our
consumers, communities, and businesses. With Nokia’s latest
generation of silicon innovation and their careful attention to
ensuring investment protection with the flexibility to adapt to new
requirements, we believe Nokia is delivering the right foundation
to ensure IP networks can efficiently scale and transform to stay
ahead of ever shifting market demands.”
Christian Gacon, Vice
President, Broadband
Networks, Orange
France, said: “We have had a long
relationship with Nokia from the very first silicon processor
release. As our network continues to evolve to meet the demands of
our customers, innovations such as Nokia’s FP5 silicon will enable
us to balance capacity, maintainability and security to deliver the
best customer experience. Introducing this exciting innovation into
existing platforms will ensure that we can gracefully evolve our
networks as we look to manage both planned and unexpected demands
in a sustainable way.”
Ray Mota, CEO and
Principal Analyst, ACG Research,
said: “Nokia does it again and shows its
understanding and commitment to service providers, which has been
key in its #1 momentum gain in the overall $12 billion service
provider market. With the introduction of its fifth generation FP5
routing silicon, we believe Nokia is well-positioned to continue as
a vendor of choice for service providers seeking to evolve their IP
networks to become more agile, efficient, and secure all the while
providing investment protection.”
Federico Guillén, President of Network Infrastructure,
Nokia, said: “Of all the things that are surprising about
human beings, perhaps the most surprising is our ability to be
surprised. Our customers require their networks to be robust,
agile and adaptable enough to handle everything life throws at them
– from disruptive security threats to a global pandemic. FP5
is a significant step forward in performance, security and
efficiency and – in combination with our software excellence and
investment in network automation and tools – it opens the next
chapter in Nokia’s long-standing leadership in IP networking and IP
silicon innovation.”
Nokia FP5-based platforms will be available starting in the
first half of 2022.
