ETX-2
When looking for next-generation IP and Carrier Ethernet Networking Interface Device (NID), also known as Network Termination Unit (NTU), the RAD ETX-2 line of next-generation offers advanced demarcation for SLA-based business services, wholesale services and mobile backhaul.


The ETX-2 is MEF Carrier Ethernet 3.0-certified for E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree, and E-Access services, as well as delivering TDM pseudowire over packet networks. Supporting high capacity service provisioning per EVC/EVC.CoS, flexible classification and H-QoS traffic management, ETX-2 offers accurate and scalable service testing as an RFC2544 test device as well as performance monitoring. The ETX-2 is supported by RADview management and enables a variety of protection mechanisms. It also offers NEBS-compliant and environmentally hardened enclosure options.
