RAD’s RICi-155GE state-of-the-art Gigabit Ethernet network termination unit (NTU) transports Gigabit Ethernet traffic over two STM-1/OC-3 uplinks, offering bundled access rates of up to 300 Mbps. The RICi-155GE is an Ethernet network interface device (NID), enabling Carrier Ethernet services over existing SDH/SONET networks for IPDSLAM Backhauling or high-capacity Ethernet service provisioning.

RICi-155GE Gigabit Ethernet over Two STM-1/OC-3 NTU also allows carriers to deliver EPL and EVPL port-based and flow-based services, with flexible traffic mapping, prioritization and rate limitation.

Benefits:
• Allows CapEx (Capital Expenditures) reduction by leveraging existing TDM legacy infrastructure for Gigabit Ethernet traffic delivery

• Supports a balanced and scalable migration to PSNs

• Simple “plug and play” functionality enables quick roll-out of Ethernet services by alternative carriers

• New revenue-generating service options for incumbents through optimized utilization of SDH/SONET circuits

• Enables service differentiation and QoS per user port, per Ethernet flow and per class of service (EVC.CoS)

• Minimizes disruptions in service and reduces operating costs with sophisticated diagnostic tools
