Communications has introduced a simple, efficient and
cost-effective
solution for providing inter-office connectivity. RAD's new RIC-LC
is a Fast Ethernet-over-E1 converter that provides Ethernet
connectivity over up to 16 bonded E1 links. As an Ethernet converter
for multiple PDH circuits, the RIC-LC enables service providers to
supply high capacity Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and Ethernet Private
LAN (EPLAN) services to remote locations over existing TDM
infrastructure. “ style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"> size="3">The
RIC-LC is also ideal for backhauling IP DSLAM, IP NodeB and WiMAX
base station traffic over PDH access networks,” notes Jayant Deo,
President of RAD India. “It is a very suitable and exceedingly
affordable solution for the Indian market,” he added.

in
point-to-point or hub-and-spoke topologies, the RIC-LC operates
opposite Ethernet-over-TDM demarcation devices and aggregators. These
include RAD's RICi-4/8/16E1
and Egate-100, as well as third-party gateways that support Ethernet
over NG-PDH encapsulation and bonding techniques.
