Cisco SGSN Iu/Gb Flex and Pooling per 1K SAAUs | ASR5500 — ASR5K-00-SN01FLEX

Scale SGSN capacity in measured increments with Cisco SGSN Iu/Gb Flex and Pooling for ASR5500 deployments. This license is sold per 1K SAAUs, giving network teams a clear way to align spend with subscriber demand and service growth. Built for ASR5500-only environments, it supports mobile core planning where capacity must be added without redesigning the platform. That makes it a practical fit for operators managing regional expansion, traffic spikes, or phased service rollouts. Pooling helps consolidate resources more efficiently, while the flex model keeps procurement tied to actual deployment needs. For teams responsible for carrier-grade availability, the value is control: predictable licensing, platform-specific fit, and a path to scale without unnecessary oversizing. It is a targeted purchase for organizations that need to extend SGSN capability while keeping architecture and budget disciplined.
