Defining Intelligent Demarcation

EtherNID™ and MetroNID™ demarcation units define the boundaries of your network, enabling end-to-end service provisioning and assurance with carrier-grade performance.

The EtherNID and MetroNID units are built on the patent-pending Fast-Thru™ architecture, a unique hardware-based design that provides advanced performance testing and service creation capabilities in a compact, cost efficient, carrier-grade-in-line element.

Unlike store-and-forward architectures, Fast-Thru's proprietary silicon design provides wire-speed pass-through performance without adding jitter or delay, while at the same time providing micro-second measurement resolution and real-time processing for every packet flowing through the unit.

With transparent fall-over, NEBS Level 3 certification, no fans or moving parts, and 3-way redundant power, EtherNID and MetroNID units are truly carrier-grade. A variety of mounting options mean flexible installation at customer premises, cell sites, central offices and aggregation nodes.

EtherNID™ Units
Designed to demarc the edge of your network, EtherNIDs offer advanced Packet Performance Assurance™ and service creation directly from customer premises and cell-sites. With a full range of Ethernet rates and interfaces, the comprehensive EtherNID family fits your network from end-to-end.

MetroNID™ Units
High-performance MetroNID units provide carrier-grade demarcation within metro and access networks. Designed for cellular hubs, aggregation nodes, and carrier hand-offs, MetroNIDs segment, monitor and bridge diverse networks, delivering pervasive OAM and performance monitoring visibility.
