Hard-to-Find Synchronous Bandwidth Solution for Medium-Sized EnterprisesRAD LA-110 Integrated Access Device Provides Hard-to-Find Synchronous Bandwidth Solution for Medium-Sized EnterprisesSHDSL Pairs Deliver 10 Mbps Ethernet Services over Copper to Underserved Business Market Segment Tel Aviv, October 17, 2006: RAD Data Communications has unveiled version Version 3.17 supports four SHDSL pairs bonded by inverse multiplexing. The combination of DSL technology and inverse multiplexing capability positions version 3.17 of the LA-110 IAD as an ideal solution for medium-sized enterprises. "Medium-sized enterprises often fall into a bandwidth lurch," explains Itai Mendelsohn, IAD Product Line Manager at RAD Data Communications. "On the one hand, their demands tend to exceed the speeds available to home consumers using ADSL, which, in any event, is an asynchronous service that is unsuited for businesses generating significant amounts of upstream traffic," Mendelsohn notes. "On the other hand, the bandwidth that they do require falls short of that offered by broadband services, which are designed primarily for large enterprises," he continues. "By deploying version 3.17 of the LA-110, DSL service providers will be able to market hard-to-get synchronous DSL speeds, like 10 Mbps, for this underserved DSL market segment," he adds. "And because DSL is everywhere, the LA-110 IAD is also ideal for connecting isolated branch offices, since they typically require symmetrical links in transmitting traffic upstream to their corporate headquarters." VLAN Stacking The LA-110 IAD provides voice, data and Ethernet services over both ATM and packet-switched networks. With its flexible combinations of user and network ports, the LA-110 is an ideal IAD for delivering leased lines, Ethernet and Frame Relay services, in addition to corporate applications.
