RAD: ETX-2i
Carrier Ethernet Demarcation
Part of RAD’s Service Assured Access solutions, the ETX-2i ethernet platform is a line of next-generation NID/NTUs and carrier Ethernet demarcation device options that enable advanced networking demarcation SLA-based, L2 and L3 business services, wholesale services and mobile backhaul. The ETX-2i offers a variety of Ethernet network products supporting these connections: 1-GbE, 10-GbE (10GB Ethernet) and 100-GbE (100G ethernet CPE).
1G/10G/100G Ethernet Demarcation Indoor / Outdoor Options NID / NTU's
The ETX-2i provides MEF 3.0 demarcation and aggregation over any access, including over LTE/broadband. Its FPGA architecture flexibly adapts to future customer needs.
As a modular demarcation device, the ETX-2i enables operators to deliver the most advanced Carrier Ethernet services, IP VPNs and vCPE functionalities over any network connection. In addition, the ETX-2i combines advanced timing functionalities for LTE/LTE-A.
