MDR 8000

The MDR-8000 offers a graceful migration from TDM to Ethernet for microwave radio networks without costly equipment replacement. A new interface card provides native Ethernet ports with 32 DS1 on-board to allow TDM traffic to be dynamically provisioned alongside the radio's Ethernet bandwidth. Existing MDR-8000 radios supporting only TDM services over DS1, DS3 or OC-3 may be upgraded in the field.

Benefits include:

• Upgrade existing systems to Ethernet with minimal investment
• Highly reliable transport over long distances
• Cost-effective alternative to leasing T1 and/or Metro Ethernet
• Cost-effective alternative to building fiber facilities
