RAD Pushes EtherAccess

MAHWAH, N.J. -- At the Carrier Ethernet World Congress, to be held September 24-28 in Geneva, RAD Data Communications will unveil Phase 2 of its EtherAccess® strategy.

Phase 2 supports the rollout of Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) and Ethernet Private Line (EPL), as well as E-Line and E-LAN services, over fiber, DSL, and bonded copper circuits, with essential 802.1ag standard Ethernet OAM.

Three new products have been added to the EtherAccess portfolio with 802.1ag Ethernet OAM standard capabilities and support for EVPL/EPL:

“Carrier Ethernet, which was once restricted to core networks, is reaching the access,” explains Yacov Cazes, Director of Ethernet Product Development at RAD Data Communications. “Today’s market requirements include Carrier Ethernet capabilities in access networks, providing the same Ethernet service attributes to customers regardless of the access technologies used.

“RAD Data Communications is uniquely positioned among the front line of vendors in responding to these new demands and in implementing them across the board in its entire Ethernet access portfolio, which is precisely what we have done in EtherAccess Phase 2.”
