ETX-2

Carrier Ethernet Demarcation (Network Termination Unit)

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. A Network Termination Unit (NTU) serves as the crucial endpoint that connects customer premises to the carrier's network, providing the necessary interface for Ethernet services. NTUs are responsible for managing traffic, ensuring quality of service (QoS), and monitoring network performance to meet stringent SLA requirements.

ETX-2 Network Termination Unit Equipment & Network Interface Devices Family

MEF 3.0 Certified Logo
MEF CE 3.0 Certified with Traffic Management and Monitoring per EVC/EVC.CoS

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.
