We use the NCS 5000 to deliver bandwidth to applications such as Video Conferencing. Our entire organization uses the NCS 5000 and now in the days of covid it has become instrumental to delivering an elastic environment to our end users. The NCS 5000 was implemented before the days of covid but has proven to be the right decision.
- Prioritize high bandwidth devices such as video conferencing.
- Versatility for use with cloud applications.
- Pricing is the first thing that comes to mind.
- Ease of use, we required professional services to implement and for major changes.

This device will most likely be playing the role of a "leaf", due to it's higher port density. The device is designed to provide higher port density, meaning, more ports, higher bandwidth available as an edge device. As the demand for high bandwidth ports increases, this device will be useful in both providing connectivity to the customer as well as uplink to the core.
- Higher port density allows for both higher bandwidth ports to the customer network as well as sufficient uplink capacity to the core.
- Small rack space, smarter design, smaller footprint allows for more hardware the fit in the same amount of rack space.
- Lower power consumption, less heat output results in savings within the data center environment.
- Increased backwards compatibility would allow for more existing or older hardware to be installed within the new chassis if physically possible.
- Streamlined OS upgrades, and the NCS have taken steps to avoid having the reload the entire device when upgrading software, but can be further improved.
- Continued upgrades to hardware results in longer shelf life for the chassis, allowing less frequent purchases and upgrades.
Our new NCS routers are being used to design our new networks that will move us further with fiber deep Cisco UCBR8 CCAPs (cable provider access) and bring our customers speed they expect.

- Stability
- Innovative
- Bugs
- Transport components stability
- Tac response time in some xases
