Summary

Product Overview

Multiple Services Routers (MSR) series is a brand new product portfolio of H3C oriented to multi-service applications, delivering wire speed and concurrent services of data, voice and video. To meet various demands of different industries, Multiple Services Routers series provides customers with unique experience of network flexibility and agility. Bearing innovative and forecasting concept on mind, MSR integrates adaptive services into a single platform with high security and reliability, thus lowering network cost and uncertainty.

MSR adopts optimized hardware and software structure to guarantee embedded security and significant performance while providing the services covering Voice over IP (VoIP), business video and network analysis etc. By supporting more types of modules, MSR features higher interface density and more services availability. Considering future network expansion and versatile network applications, MSR opens interfaces to third party in according to the standard of Open Application Architecture (OAA). In addition, MSR adopts the most advanced Comware 5 software platform, providing abundant mainstream functions such as IPv6, MPLS TE etc.

With newly developed modules of high performance and compatible with some interface modules of AR 28 and AR 46, Multiple Services Routers series gives more modern and novel applications while protecting users’ investment in an all-round way. Currently, MSR comprises eight products in three levels of MSR 20, MSR 30 and MSR 50, meeting the demands of small and medium sized enterprises to large scale corporations in every industry.

MSR 20 series serves as low end access routers, which comprises three products of MSR 20-20, MSR 20-21 and MSR 20-40. As low end access routers oriented to small to medium sized businesses and small enterprise branch offices, MSR 20 delivers secure, fast and concurrent services to meet various applications. With embedded hardware-based encryption chip, MSR 20 greatly improves the security performance. In addition, MSR 20 supports enhanced voice functions. MSR 20-20/21 supports analog voice function and MSR 20-21 integrates eight fixed switching interfaces, further reducing customers’ investment. For MSR 20-40, it supports not only analog voice, but digital voice as well. With more service module slots, MSR 20-40 delivers high density voice solution in the access level.

Compatible with SIC (Smart Interface Card) modules of H3C AR 28 Series, MSR 20 supports enhanced newly developed SIC modules (LSW, GE, E1/T1 Voice, etc.) to meet more networking occasions. The products of MSR 20 series are displayed as follows:
