NEW YORK -- RAD Data Communications has announced that it will launch a fully functional, innovative SFP form-factor Ethernet Network Interface Device (NID) at Ethernet Expo Americas, to be held November 6-8 in New York.

RAD’s Micro Network Interface Device (MiNID) plugs into the SFP cage of any manufacturer’s hosting device, transforming it into a Carrier Ethernet demarcation and SLA verification device for remote service monitoring and fault isolation. This unique capability allows service providers, wholesale carriers and mobile operators to receive real time network and performance reports with per-CoS SLA definition.

“Carrier Ethernet should be profitable, not painful. In tandem with RAD’s full performance monitoring suite of solutions, deployment of the MiNID turns Carrier Ethernet into a more profitable service, eliminating many of the operational pain points that service providers currently experience,” states Amir Karo, Vice President of Marketing at RAD Data Communications.
