Megaplex-4

Next-Generation Multiservice Access Node

A carrier-class, high capacity multiservice access concentrator for delivering legacy and next-generation services over PDH/SDH/SONET and packet switched transport networks (PSN).

Megaplex-4
MEF CE 2.0
Patented
Cyber Shield by RAD
Virtualization by RAD
Ideal core/edge solution for migration to packet

The Megaplex-4’s ability to handle a broad range of Ethernet, data and voice services, as well as a large variety of network technologies, in a single compact managed node, makes it an ideal solution for carriers and service providers. The device also provides a perfect fit for large enterprises, utilities and transportation companies who require an efficient way to transport and provision multiple legacy and next-generation services over their high capacity pipes. Megaplex-4 can be used as a central aggregation unit for TDM and Ethernet CPEs that are connected over various access link technologies, e.g., HSDSL and SDH/SONET.

The Megaplex-4 is available with a cable management solution to reduce storage space and handling, and eliminate cable waste.
