ACE-202:Dedicated Multiservice Access Concentrator

Maker : RAD Data Communications, Ltd.

The ACE-202 can be used as a carrier-owned demarcation device or as a corporate concentrator connected to the public ATM network. As a demarcation device, the ACE-202 enables carriers and service providers to define the boundary between their ATM-based public services and the customer private network. A clear demarcation point at the customer premises increases the service reliability, improves network efficiency and ensures end-to-end QoS support.
The ACE-202 can be used as a demarcation device for native ATM traffic or for a mix of legacy services such as voice, LAN, Frame Relay, HDLC and ATM. The ACE-202 has built-in features that enable the extension of ATM network facilities up to the customer premises. These features support various ATM services, such as advanced traffic management (policing, scheduling and shaping) and full OAM (Operation, Adiministration and Maintenance) flow support. In addition, the wide range of ATM modules further enhances the flexibility of service offerings. When used as an interworking device, the ACE-202 enables smooth migration of legacy equipment such as PBXs and routers operating over ATM networks. The unit enables the most efficient utilization of public ATM services for transporting different types of corporate traffic including ATM.
