Accedian Announces SLA Assurance for Wireless Backhaul.CHICAGO -- Accedian Networks Inc., a leading provider of SLA (1) (StereoLithography Apparatus) See 3D printing. (2) (Service Level Agreement) A contract between the provider and the user that specifies the level of service expected during its term. Assurance solutions and Ethernet Demarcation Devices, today announced the release of a new Ethernet SLA Assurance product offering geared towards Wireless Backhaul Networks. The Accedian EtherNID[TM] DE series allows Wireless Backhaul service providers to guarantee stringent Ethernet SLA parameters between Base Stations and Mobile Telephone Switching Telephone switching Moving one's assets from one mutual fund or variable annuity to another by telephone. telephone switching The movement of an investor's funds from one mutual fund to another mutual fund on the basis of an order given via Offices (MTSO (Mobile Telephone Switching Office) An operations center that connects the landline PSTN system to the mobile phone system. It is also responsible for compiling call information for billing and handing off calls from one cell to another. ), a key requirement as operators are converting their backhaul from TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. to Ethernet. "Because Wireless Backhaul infrastructures involve multiple vendors, multiple technologies and sometimes multiple carriers, there is currently no End-to-End way to measure and assure the live performance of such Ethernet transport." said Patrick Ostiguy, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Accedian Networks Inc. "This is where Accedian's unique technology comes into play." The Accedian EtherNID[TM] DE series incorporates a highly accurate hardware-assisted engine (PAA[TM]) which allows constant and seamless in-service monitoring of Service Level Agreement (SLA) parameters including: packet loss, latency (delay), jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle (delay variation) and continuous End-To-End path Continuity Check (availability). All of this is achieved in an End-to-end fashion, across multiple technologies, multiple vendors, and multiple carriers. Furthermore, the Accedian EtherNID[TM] DE is particularly well suited for high-density wireless base stations with very limited rack space. Allowing up to 4 NID NID Next ID NID Network Interface Device NID No I Don't NID Namespace Identifier NID National Intelligence Director NID New Iraqi Dinar NID No I Didn't NID Network Identification NID National Inventory of Dams NID NCVA functions in a single 1U, or an outstanding 24 independent NID functions in 4U, the EtherNID[TM] DE features twice as much density as any other products in its category. The DE also comes as standard with a total of 4 power input feeds which are mutually redundant: Dual -48Vdc feeds, AC adapter and PoE. Each EtherNID[TM] DE unit only consumes 8 watts and requires no fans. Additionally, the EtherNID[TM] DE features the same high-performance Fast-Thru[TM] engine as other EtherNID[TM] products, and thus minimizes intrinsic packet-jitter and latency of the device; sub-microsecond at 100% wire-speed for all packet sizes, including Jumbo packets up to 10,000 bytes, thus minimizing the introduction of latency or jitter to the service itself. Accedian's EtherNID[TM] DE will be demonstrated at NXTcomm 2007, June 19-21st, McCormick Place, Chicago, booth #5421. About Accedian Networks: Accedian Networks is located in Montreal, Canada and has a leading-edge expertise in the area of Ethernet Service Assurance and emerging OAM (Operations Administration Maintenance) Refers to managing and maintaining a network or network device. The P in "OAM&P" adds "provisioning" to the list, which is a telephone company term for setting up a service. standards for Carrier-Grade Ethernet Services. Accedian's unique technology for Ethernet Service Assurance and OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance) uses an innovative, standards-based approach.
