Cisco Bearer Plane Advantage 100K SAAU ASR5K Active | Carrier Software — ASR5K-01-BP51AA=

Keep mobile core traffic moving as subscriber demand rises. Cisco Bearer Plane Advantage 100K SAAU for ASR5K Active adds a 100K software entitlement designed for bearer-plane scale in carrier environments where session growth, service continuity, and operational control matter. This offering fits teams standardizing on ASR5K-based architectures and looking for a software-defined way to extend capacity without changing the underlying operating model. It is suited to service providers that need to plan for expansion while maintaining the consistency expected in production cores. For procurement and architecture teams, the value is in the precision of the entitlement: a defined 100K SAAU package tied to Cisco’s ASR5K Active platform. That makes it easier to align licensing with deployment planning, forecast spend, and keep network capabilities matched to demand. Use it where bearer-plane scale is a requirement, not a nice-to-have. In dense mobile environments, the right software entitlement can be the difference between absorbing growth cleanly and forcing premature platform changes.
