AWARD WINNING ETHERNET DEMARCATION UNIT FROM RAD NOW AVAILABLE
Announcement posted by NSC Group Pty Ltd 28 Mar 2011
The award endorses the ETX-203A as a feature-rich, comprehensive solution at an extremely competitive price. The Frost & Sullivan award is given annually to a company whose product is judged by the analyst organisation to best suit market and its clients' needs based upon price competitiveness, features, ease of use of the product and the service effectiveness of the company.
Frost & Sullivan declared the ETX-203A has "reset the average selling price of Carrier Ethernet demarcation devices without compromising on features" and is "one of the most feature-rich products on the market." Frost & Sullivan went on to say the ETX-203A comprehensively addresses service provider requirements in the areas of traffic management, service creation, SLA assurance, device management and lifecycle cost optimisation.
RAD introduced the ETX-203A in September 2010 as a "game changing" solution that lowers the CapEx barrier for service providers in the business services market. The network termination unit is based on RAD's in-house developed EtherAccess Carrier Ethernet ASIC, which enables RAD to offer the ETX-203A at a highly competitive price and on a licensing-based pay-as-you-grow basis.
"Receiving a prestigious award such as this is not only an honor, but a validation of RAD's approach to the Carrier Ethernet market," said Matt Sully, NSC Network Solutions. "NSC is bringing the ETX-203A to the Australian market specifically to deliver the benefits of RAD's EtherAccess technology at a price point that removes financial obstacles for service providers who want to offer Ethernet business services."
