RAD Upgrades Carrier Ethernet Access Portfolio

By Carolyn J Dawson, TMCnet Contributor


RAD Data Communications (News - Alert) has released a 10 GbE Network Termination Unit (NTU), extending its Ethernet access portfolio. Enterprise and carrier-to-carrier applications will be offered SLA-based Carrier Ethernet services with the ETX-220A NTU, which has incorporated smart segregation and aggregation capabilities.


“The ETX-220A answers a real need for high capacity access combined with service management and SLA assurance,” said Eyal Aloni, ETX portfolio manager, RAD Data Communications (News - Alert). “As a demarcation solution it can be used for managed service handoff at an enterprise headquarters handling a large volume of traffic, at carrier hotels or between provider networks. The same device can also be used as an aggregation solution at the concentration point, where a single unit can support numerous services and concurrent OAM sessions.”

The ETX-220A NTU complies with the budding Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF (News - Alert)) CE 2.0 specifications. The ETX-220A NTU, optimized for high bandwidth Ethernet access services, offers system throughput of maximum 40 Gbps. An advanced traffic management system has been incorporated with the carrier-grade ETX-220, which also supports wide-ranging hardware-based tools, ensuring the flawless management of the service life cycle, even across third-party networks.

The ETX-220A has not only been designed for transporting multi-priority traffic, but also guarantees latency, jitter and packet delivery performance for every flow, assuring the maximum possible service accessibility.

The ETX-220A also ensures end-to-end performance management across packet backhaul, as mandated by the finest communications services providers.

Said Aloni: “The ETX-220A is an important element in RAD’s complete Carrier Ethernet ecosystem, and is fully interoperable with the ETX-5300A Ethernet service aggregation platform, the ETX-205A Carrier Ethernet mobile demarcation device and the ETX-203AX and ETX-203AM Carrier Ethernet demarcation devices. RAD has the knowledge, experience and the support capabilities to assist enterprises, operators and service providers in building out their Ethernet access networks while lowering TCO.”

RAD Data Communications is a top manufacturer of finest access and backhaul equipments used for data communications and telecommunications applications. Service providers, carriers and enterprise networks are able to fulfill their data and voice access necessities with these solutions.
