Mid-band Ethernet and Fast Ethernet over Eight T1 NTU

• Four or eight E1/T1 ports
• Up to four 10/100BaseT user ports
• Circuit bonding using MLPPP
• Metro Ethernet Forum certified for MEF-9 EPL services
• Four QoS levels according to VLAN priority (802.1p), DSCP, and per port priority schemes, per application requirements
• Ethernet OAM per 802.1ag and performance monitoring per ITU Y.1731 for end-to-end SLA control
• Secure Telnet and Web applications; SNMP and RADIUS

RAD’s RICi-4E1, RICi-4T1, RICi-8E1 and RICi-8T1 deliver mid-band and Fast Ethernet services over up to eight bonded E1 or T1 circuits. Employing various standard bonding technologies to create a scalable, virtual channel from individual E1 or T1 circuits, these devices improve overall network availability by reducing latency and optimizing line utilization and throughput. RAD’s RICi NTUs support a large variety of applications, including transparent inter-LAN connectivity, direct Internet access and Ethernet Private Lines, as well as IP DSLAM and WiMAX base station backhaul.

The devices are deployed in point-to-point or hub-and-spoke topologies, providing a cost-effective, high performance solution for mid-band and Fast Ethernet services over legacy PDH/SDH/SONET backbones.
