The ETX-205A is an advanced demarcation device for SLA-based Ethernet business services and mobile backhaul. It ensures carrier-grade performance and Five Nines (99.999%) reliability, and allows remote end-to-end service control. Part of the EtherAccess portfolio, the ETX-205A handles up to 5 Gbps of Ethernet and TDM pseudowire user traffic at wire-speed with advanced traffic management and differentiated, per-flow quality of service (QoS) capabilities.

As a mobile demarcation device (MDD), the ETX-205A combines a cell-site gateway or a small hub device with Ethernet demarcation functionalities and is installed at cellular tower and controller sites to help backhaul and transport providers, as well as fixedmobile carriers, guarantee differentiated SLAs for 3G, HSPA and LTE mobile operators. As an all-in-one device, it cuts down provider costs by minimizing equipment needed for timing and demarcation.
