Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent) 3HE06430AA Service Processing Module

Product Overview

Key Specifications

Core Features

1. Carrier-Grade Routing & Services
   
   
   Integrates high-performance IP/MPLS routing with advanced service functions (including IPv4/IPv6, VPNs, and mobile core gateway offloading for 4G/5G networks).
2. 100Gbps-Class Performance
   
   
   Delivers line-rate packet processing at 100Gbps per slot, supporting high-density subscriber traffic and carrier-grade core network (EPC/5G) deployments.
3. Modular Service Expansion
   
   
   Supports modular scaling of mobile core capacity (SGW/PGW/UPF) and routing services, allowing operators to incrementally scale hardware as demand grows.
4. Advanced Thermal Management
   
   
   Equipped with large aluminum fin heat sinks and copper heat pipes to efficiently dissipate heat from high-power processors, ensuring stable 24/7 operation under full load.
5. High Reliability
   
   
   Designed for carrier-grade uptime, with redundant power and cooling interfaces, making it suitable for mission-critical mobile core and backbone networks.

Compatibility & Supported Equipment

Primary Compatibility

• Nokia 7750 SR Chassis: SR-7, SR-12, SR-14, and SR-20 service router platforms

• Service Provider Networks: IP/MPLS backbone, metro aggregation, and wholesale/retail services

Multi-Vendor Interoperability

Typical Applications

• 4G/5G Mobile Core Networks: Deployed as SGW/PGW/UPF in operator EPC/5GC networks to manage high-speed mobile data traffic.
• IP/MPLS Backbone Networks: High-capacity routing and traffic engineering for service provider core networks.
• Metro Aggregation: Aggregating and transporting mobile backhaul and enterprise traffic.
• Network Modernization: Supporting smooth migration from 3G/4G to 5G core networks with modular service scaling.

Technical Notes

• SPM Role: The Service Processing Module offloads complex packet processing and service logic from the route processor (RP), ensuring dedicated performance for mobile core and routing workloads.
• Thermal Requirements: The dense heatsink design requires proper airflow within the 7750 SR chassis to maintain maximum performance.
• Nokia 7750 SR Ecosystem: This module is part of Nokia's modular 7750 SR platform, allowing operators to mix and match line cards for flexible network design.
