High-performance MetroNID packet assurance demarcation units provide carrier-grade network and service demarcation within your metro Ethernet, wireless backhaul and access networks. Designed for cellular hubs, aggregation nodes, carrier and peering provider hand-offs, MetroNIDs segment, monitor and bridge diverse networks, delivering OAM and performance monitoring visibility deep into your network.

Segment, monitor, troubleshoot and bridge networks with high-performance, in-line MetroNID ® packet assurance demarcation units. Acting as a transparent, carrier-grade optical repeater at gigabit Ethernet wire-speed, MetroNID units illuminate dark-fiber networks with standards-based OAM, intelligent layer 1-4 loopback and in-service RFC-2544 performance testing – without adding jitter or latency to customer traffic.

Integrated service creation and traffic conditioning establishes Ethernet Virtual Circuits over multi-technology, multi-protocol and multi-vendor networks. Integrated zero-latency traffic shaping, filtering, bandwidth regulation and switch-free aggregation allow MetroNID units to outperform switches and routers many times their cost in edge applications.

Fully MEF and NEBS level 3 certification confirm the carrier-grade design proven by over 5, 000 systems deployed in critical applications worldwide.

MetroNID units help you to optimize and accelerate your services, protect your core network capacity, and deliver best-in-class QoS end-to-end.
