PA-2H Use Case

Enterprise Multi-DS3 WAN Connectivity with Dual HSSI Ports

In a global enterprise deploying a Cisco 7200 Series router for inter-office communication, the PA-2H-Model Cisco 7200 Series 2-Port HSSI Port Adapter aggregates two DS3 (45 Mbps) lines into a unified 90 Mbps WAN link. This setup ensures resilient, high-bandwidth data transfers for VoIP, video conferencing, and cloud backup. Benefit: Achieve scalable throughput, sub-5 ms latency and seamless circuit redundancy, enhancing network reliability and reducing total cost of ownership.

Service Provider Metro Ethernet Peering with High-Speed Backbone

A regional ISP uses the PA-2H-Model to establish high-speed peering between core routers over dual HSSI ports supporting 52 Mbps each. This technical solution delivers a combined 104 Mbps backbone link that meets SLA targets for metro Ethernet customers. Benefit: Optimize link utilization, simplify network management and guarantee carrier-grade uptime, driving customer satisfaction and recurring revenue.

Ultra-Low Latency Financial Trading Network Interconnect

In a financial services environment where microsecond latency is critical, traders deploy the PA-2H-Model on Cisco 7200 routers to connect trading floors with exchange gateways via dual HSSI circuits. This configuration minimizes jitter and packet loss for real-time order execution and market data distribution. Benefit: Secure ultra-low latency, deterministic performance and high availability, maximizing trading efficiency and risk control.
