RAD ETX‑205A is a rugged MEF Carrier Ethernet switch with carrier-grade timing (IEEE-1588v2, SyncE), designed for telecom, utility, and infrastructure edge.
The RAD ETX‑205A Carrier Ethernet and Timing device is a rugged, carrier-grade switch engineered for service providers, utilities, and critical infrastructure requiring both Ethernet services and precise timing. It integrates MEF-certified Carrier Ethernet features (E-Line, E-LAN, E-Access) with full IEEE-1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and SyncE (Synchronous Ethernet) support.
With multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports and advanced OAM (Y.1731) for SLA assurance, the ETX‑205A ensures high performance and reliable packet transport. Compliant with industry standards, it’s designed for demanding environments across New Zealand and the Pacific, supporting urban and metro edge deployments for telecom and smart utility networks.
