RAD unveils Carrier Ethernet NTU

RAD Data Communications announced today that it has unveiled a feature-rich Carrier Ethernet NTU for MEF-certified SLA-enabled Ethernet services. The ETX-203A is based on the company's newly developed EtherAccessâ„¢ Carrier Ethernet ASIC, which enabled setting the product's price at $400 for high-volume orders.

The ETX-203A supports a licensing based, pay-as-you-grow model. This means service providers can minimize CapEx during initial deployment and upgrade key service parameters as their customers' requirements change.
