WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT?

• Organizations choose the Cisco ASR-9901-120G when they need a reliable balance between performance and efficiency in a compact carrier-grade router. It is particularly valuable for networks scaling beyond traditional aggregation limits but not requiring ultra-high-end 200G+ capacity systems.
• Compared to lower-tier edge routers, it provides stronger throughput headroom and better long-term scalability, reducing the need for frequent hardware upgrades. At the same time, it avoids the cost and complexity of higher-capacity models, making it a strategically optimized procurement choice for WAN modernization.
• Its integration within the ASR 9900 family ensures consistent architecture, simplified operations, and long lifecycle support-delivering strong ROI through reduced operational overhead, improved service continuity, and scalable deployment flexibility.
