Cisco has showcased three products conceptualized, architected and designed out of India that will help enable the vision of a digitized nation. In India, with a rapidly-increasing number of people, devices, machines and sensors coming online across the Internet of Everything, companies require new capabilities to succeed. As India digitizes, the way in which applications are architected and delivered is being shaped by the demands of Big Data, the Internet of Everything, mobility, video and cloud.
According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, 2013 – 2018, in India there will be 526 million total Internet users and 1.5 billion networked devices by 2018. Video will be 62% of India's mobile data traffic, and the gigabyte equivalent of all movies ever made will cross India's IP networks every 2 hours by 2018. The three products, from the Cisco India Development Centre, showcased today strongly demonstrate the company's ability to create products and solutions for the next generation of communications technologies. Spanning the areas of mobility, cloud and computing technologies, the networking products have been designed to power the vision of a digitized India.
ASR 920-O is a next-generation Aggregation Services Router (ASR) is a full-featured converged access platform for the cost-effective delivery of wireline and wireless services and is optimized for mobile backhaul, residential and business service applications. Conceptualized and architected in India, and designed for the Indian environment, the ASR 920-O is a temperature hardened, high-throughput, small form-factor and low-power-consumption router.
According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, 2013 – 2018, mobile data traffic in India will grow 24-fold from 2013 to 2018, a compound annual growth rate of 88%. This explosion of demand for mobility from citizens, to small and large companies, to the government, will require a robust mobile Internet network and powerful enterprise connectivity. In a Digital India, the rapidly-growing mobile network requires a multi-gigabit fast, reliable and temperature-hardened access network while enterprise connectivity needs a dense and fast aggregation network. The ASR 920-O addresses both these requirements, connecting data to people to processes and things, enabling new business models to emerge, and leading to better decision-making and richer customer experiences.
