Nokia 7950 XRS – Extensible Routing System
Bringing technology full circle
The Nokia 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS) delivers massive scale, low latency, and carrier-grade reliability for the world’s most demanding IP core and backbone networks.
At PICS Telecom, we supply both refurbished and new Nokia 7950 systems, helping global operators modernise their IP infrastructure sustainably — reducing CapEx, extending hardware life, and achieving measurable ESG impact.
Understanding the Nokia 7950 XRS
The 7950 XRS is designed for the IP core — the heart of large-scale service provider and cloud networks.
Its multi-chassis architecture and FP5-based processing deliver terabit-scale capacity with outstanding efficiency.
- 7950 XRS-20 / XRS-40: Designed for high-capacity edge and aggregation, offering flexible slot configurations.
- 7950 XRS-400 / XRS-XC: Engineered for core and super-core environments, delivering up to multi-terabit throughput.
Performance and Scalability
The 7950 XRS is engineered for scale — supporting interface speeds up to 800 Gb/s per slot and enabling multi-terabit routing capacity per chassis.
Key capabilities include:
- FP5 silicon for industry-leading performance per watt.
- Comprehensive IP/MPLS and segment routing support.
- Full integration with Nokia’s 7750 SR and SR-OS, providing a unified service and management environment.
- Advanced QoS, telemetry, and traffic engineering for predictable, high-performance service delivery.
With its modular design and software-defined evolution path, the 7950 XRS is built to handle exponential traffic growth — efficiently and sustainably.
Supporting the Circular Economy
The Nokia 7950 XRS aligns with PICS Telecom’s circular economy model, delivering performance that lasts while reducing environmental impact:
- Energy-Efficient Architecture: High throughput per watt lowers operational power requirements.
- Extended Lifecycle: Modular components allow upgrades without full replacement, cutting waste and WEEE output.
- Recyclable Materials: All end-of-life systems processed through R2v3 and Zero Waste to Landfill channels.
By sourcing refurbished Nokia 7950 hardware through PICS Telecom, operators can maintain network performance and reliability while advancing sustainability and compliance goals.
