NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
• Feature-rich demarcation and aggregation suite,
offering a complete Service Assured Access (SAA) ETX-2 supports several network topologies such as linear, daisy
solution chain, and self-healing rings (G.8032v2), working with ETX-5 or
third-party Ethernet devices.
• Ideal for service providers, wholesalers, and mobile
operators, seeking to deliver and monitor SLA-based CARRIER ETHERNET 2.0 SERVICES

ETX-2 incorporates a complete set of CE 2.0-certified Ethernet
• Versatile offering of multirate Ethernet over fiber, service tools that allow the service provider to distinguish
SHDSL, VDSL, GPON, PDH, and TDM, assuring unified between high- and low-priority traffic, and optimize TCP
service delivery over any access technology sessions.
• TWAMP and Layer-2 OAM, diagnostics for scalable and ETX220A also provides MEF 10.3 color aware and unaware
