RIC-155

Fast Ethernet over STM-1/OC-3 NTU

RAD’s RIC-155 Fast Ethernet over STM-1/OC-3 network termination unit bridges Fast Ethernet LANs over an STM-1/OC-3 uplink, providing carriers and service providers with a migration path for connecting future-ready IP devices with Fast Ethernet interfaces, into existing SDH/SONET networks at 155 Mbps access rates.

An intelligent Fast Ethernet to STM-1/OC-3 converter, RIC-155’s typical applications include IP backhaul between POPs, transporting Fast Ethernet traffic over 155 Mbps microwave links, or extending high bandwidth private line services over SDH/SONET networks. Using VLAN tagging and stacking, Ethernet traffic can be transported transparently, keeping user VLAN settings intact.
