PacketLogic Hardware Platforms

Procera offers a complete selection of hardware platforms to cover every kind of deployment need. This ranges from the entry-level PL5600 that goes from 4 Mbps to 100 Mbps, through the single or dual GbE channel PL76xx family, to the high-end AdvancedTCA chassis PL10000 that manages 10 GbE (5RU) or 80 GbE (12RU) throughput (40 Gbps full duplex).

The use of a common firmware enables the different platforms to co-exist in the same network. This positively affects both the initial CAPEX investment since you do not have to overspend, as well as the OPEX since the user interface and feature-set is the same across all platforms.

This way you can deploy a PL5600 on a backhaul from a wireless access point (AP), and a PL10000 at the aggregation point between core and edge at a large site.

See the specification overview below and select platform to the left for further information.

¹ The two Gigabit Ethernet ports are collectively referred to as one channel. One port is used as the interface to the internal (local) network and one port is used as the interface to the external (Internet) network.
²The four Gigabit Ethernet ports are collectively referred to as two channels. Two ports are used as the interfaces to the internal (local) network and two ports are used as the interfaces to the external (Internet) network.
³ All configurations vary by region. Consult your local Procera Sales team for configurations valid in your region.
