RAD’s Egate-2000 is a carrier-grade, high capacity Ethernet over SDH/SONET aggregation device that provides MEF-compliant Ethernet services over channelized STM-16/OC-48 connections. It is typically deployed in a central location to aggregate traffic from remote devices, such as RAD’s RICi Ethernet over TDM smart NTUs. Together, they form a complete Carrier Ethernet over TDM access solution from the service provider central site to the customer premises.
Ideal for IP DSLAM and WiMAX base station backhaul applications, the Egate-2000 leverages existing PDH/SDH/SONET infrastructure to deliver carrier-class Ethernet services to sites where native Ethernet is not available.
