Zhone EtherXtend 2122 Multiplexer

Zhone's EtherXtend 2100 SHDSL series of Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) allows Carriers, CLECs, ISPs and PTTs to deliver Ethernet services to their customers simply, quickly and cost-effectively over existing copper plant. Intended for deployment at end-users' locations, these devices allow delivery of Ethernet services using SHDSL.bis transport protocols.The EtherXtend 2100 series of EADs represents the next generation of simple, configuration-free, plug and play Ethernet over Copper Network Extenders available from Zhone Technologies. By employing Zhone's pre-standards based, Net-to-Net (N2N) bonding protocols, these units continue to build on the simplicity and popularity of Zhone's SHDSL Network Extenders (SNE) family of products, while extending the data rates available to a full 5.7Mbps per pair, in compliance with the ITU-T G.991.2 SHDSL.bis standards.The EtherXtend 2100 SHDSL products can interoperate with each other in a point-to-point configuration. Where several of these devices must home on a common central office (CO) location, CO aggregation can be achieved using the ESIM5700-48 line card of Zhone's IP-DSLAM (IPD) platform. Alternatively, service providers can use Zhone's Single Line Multi-Service (SLMS) family of products as aggregation devices for the ETHX-2112 EADs.What differentiates Zhone's EtherXtend 2112 EADs from competing vendors' offerings is the simplicity and efficiency with which Ethernet services can be deployed over bonded loops with a minimum of fuss and/or operational complexity - only made possible by the automatic, configuration-free, "plug and play" operation of Zhone's EtherXtend SHDSL product line.
