Fujitsu Limited and Cisco Systems launched sales in Japan of a four-slot model of the co-branded "Fujitsu and Cisco CRS-1" Carrier Routing System. The new router model delivers the same 40 Gbps of switching capacity per slot as other models in the series, providing a total switching capacity of 320 Gbps. It also uses the same I/O modules and forwarding engines as existing 8-slot and 16-slot models.
