RAD Data Communications will be featuring at CommunicAsia 2011 in Singapore its complete legacy migration portfolio for carriers, service providers, enterprises, transportation networks, and public utilities. The portfolio fully addresses the challenges they face in migrating to next-generation packet switched networks (PSNs) and services with flexibility, efficiency and carrier-class reliability.
"While many carriers and private operators are migrating their networks to packet technologies to lower costs and support IP-based services, there remains an enormous installed base of devices that use TDM, analog or low-speed data connections," notes Ofer Rachman, General Manager, RAD Far East. "At the same time, the rapid introduction of Ethernet equipment has created a special challenge for network operators, who maintain extensive legacy TDM infrastructure and need to economically manage a myriad of interfaces, protocols, topologies, and media," he adds. "RAD's legacy migration portfolio alleviates the CapEx and OpEx pains associated with the transformation to IP by simultaneously supporting multiple network generations," Rachman continues. "It also allows continuity for legacy services, while ensuring service quality and ultra-low latency for critical applications over new Ethernet, IP or MPLS networks."
Harnessing its multidisciplinary expertise in TDM technology as well as its industry leadership in Carrier Ethernet access to combine extensive support for legacy services with future-proof Ethernet capabilities, RAD's legacy migration product lineup includes multiservice multiplexers and access nodes, fiber multiplexers, SHDSL Ethernet extenders, broadband wireless radios, and TDM pseudowire gateways. These are enhanced with a central-site platform for grooming, aggregation, cross-connect, or transparent delivery functionality. Supporting broadband access rates over copper DSL, PDH, SDH, fiber, or wireless media, the devices provide system solutions with unified management.
