Laurel Delivers Smaller Edge Router

Laurel Networks Inc. today unveiled the ST50 Service Edge Router, a smaller version of its existing ST200 multiservice edge router.

While both the ST50 and the ST200 are service edge routing platforms with full BRAS features, the ST200 addresses high-density points of presence and central offices while the ST50 was designed for remote COs or PoPs with little or no aggregation requirements. The ST200, unveiled two years ago, has a capacity of 160gbps. The ST50 tops out at 5gbps and can support up to 32,000 subscribers.

Steve Vogelsang, vice president of marketing and cofounder at Laurel, declined to provide pricing for the ST50, but he says it’s much less expensive than comparable products from Juniper and Redback, which he says require a large number of interfaces. The ST50, he says, can be configured starting with as few as two ports.
