RAD's new MiNID [http://www.rad.com/10/Ethernet-Demarcation-SFP/24944 ] is a fully
functional and hugely intelligent SFP form-factor solution that plugs into the SFP cage of
any manufacturer's host unit. When an SFP device is inserted into the patent-pending
sleeve, it is transformed into a Carrier Ethernet demarcation and SLA verification device
for remote service monitoring and fault isolation.
Its compact size makes the MiNID ideal for small cell backhaul applications, virtual
private networks and carrier-wholesale provider network termination.
"Service providers, wholesale carriers, and mobile operators can maintain service
demarcation and service validation right from the MiNID since it is equipped with Ethernet
demarcation and performance monitoring," explains Amir Karo, RAD's Vice President of
Marketing. "The MiNID also lets them receive real time network and performance reports
with per-Class of Service SLA definition," he notes. "No other manufacturer offers both
capabilities in an SFP device."
"In addition, the MiNID works with any manufacturer's SFP," Karo adds. "The same MiNID
can be used with single or multi-mode fiber, and also electrical SFPs -up to distances of
10/40/80 kilometers, depending on the SFP," he continues. "Plus, the MiNID fits SFPs
already installed in existing equipment, a tremendous saving and benefit."
"The MiNID is built entirely from in-house RAD technology," Karo concludes, "so we can
add functionality more easily than manufacturers who may rely on third-party off-the-shelf
technology."
MiNID handles up to 1 Gbps of Ethernet traffic and features per-port and per-flow
monitoring capabilities, including Ethernet OAM and loopbacks. Requiring no rack space or
external power, it can be remotely managed independently from its hosting device or
integrated with it so that they act together and appear as a single unit.
