RAD’s MiRICi-E1/T1 and MiRICi-E3/T3 connect Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet LANs over
framed or unframed E1 or T1 circuits, or over framed T3 links. The smart SFP miniature
remote bridges provide TDM connectivity to any Ethernet device with an SFP (small formfactor
pluggable) compatible, Fast Ethernet or GbE port. Hot-swappable and softwareconfigurable,
the intelligent SFPs are fully managed devices supporting standard GFP
encapsulation, as well as HDLC and cHDLC. They deliver a complete Ethernet over PDH
solution in finger-sized SFP enclosures and enable a quick rollout of new Ethernet
services over legacy TDM infrastructure. The MiRICi-E1/T1 and MiRICi-E3/T3 are part of
RAD’s “System on an SFP” product line, providing simple and cost-effective alternatives
to external, standalone bridge units or conversion cards for user devices, saving on
space, cabling and power consumption, and simplifying management.
