A prestigious panel of industry judges at the 2012 Carrier Ethernet World Congress added RAD Data Communications's ETX-5300A Ethernet service aggregation platform to the list of finalists for this year's Carrier Ethernet Award.
The brand new RAD product snagged a shortlisted position in the Best Carrier Ethernet Aggregation Product category for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) market.
The ETX-5300A moves Ethernet and TDM traffic from the access network to the provider’s edge over native 10-Gigabit Ethernet links. It allows operators to optimize converged business, wholesale, and mobile backhaul services using a single device. This will bring significant reductions to operational costs per Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) link.
Judges will be drawn from leading industry analyst firms (such as Ovum and Infonetics) and telecom operators (like Telus, Colt, Oi Brasil, and NTT Japan.)
The Best Carrier Ethernet Aggregation Product will be presented under the auspices of event organizer IIR Telecoms & Technology in front of the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).
The Spanish city of Barcelona will host this year's Carrier Ethernet World Congress. The ceremony for its Carrier Ethernet Awards will be held on September 18.
In 2011, RAD received two Carrier Ethernet Awards at two different Carrier Ethernet gatherings. The company, which primary handle mobile backhauling, is the only vendor which received more than one award.
Last year's winning products were ETX-203A, which Singapore acknowledged as the "best Carrier Ethernet demarcation product in Asia-Pacific;" and the ETX-205A, which won the award for "Best Carrier Ethernet mobile backhaul product in EMEA" during the Carrier Ethernet World Congress 2011 in Amsterdam.
