Integrated access devices, or IADs, connect user equipment to metro or wide area networks, while converging voice and data services over a shared access line, typically xDSL, to a carrier’s or service provider’s PoP (Point of Presence). In addition to aggregating multiple traffic channels across a single access link, integrated access devices allow service providers to control link features and manage its operation.
RAD’s LA-110 integrated access device delivers multiple services over low-cost xDSL and ATM transport. Leveraging well-established deployments of wholesale SHDSL and ADSL equipment, it offers cost and coverage benefits for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) and in cellular backhaul. In addition to providing LAN-to-LAN services and Internet access, the LA-110 employs pseudowire functionality to ensure quality delivery of TDM voice traffic over PSN, enabling service differentiation and QoS guarantees by extending end-to-end traffic management capabilities to the customer premises. Furthermore, the LA-110 integrated access device allows bandwidth capacity increase up to 9.2 Mbps, with IMA bonding over four SHDSL pairs. A full-featured, built-in bridge or IP router eliminates the need for expensive external routers.
