Telco Systems T-Marc 250P – Ethernet Service Demarcation Network Interface Device
The T-Marc® 250P is a cost effective, fully-managed Carrier Ethernet Demarcation Network Interface Device (NID) that provides service termination and demarcation over service providers’ packet-based networks.
As a multi-port customer-located intelligent demarcation network interface device (NID), the T-Marc delivers managed converged services (voice, video and data) over virtual Ethernet in a metro Ethernet network.
The T-Marc supports a wide range of OAM and service assurance tools designed to alleviate the operational challenges that providers face when deploying Ethernet. Advanced Layer 2 Networking using Telco Systems’ AccessEthernet™ allows total flexibility in deployment and delivery of Ethernet services.
Circuit Emulation Services over Packet
The T-Marc 254 utilizes AccessTDM™ to deliver legacy TDM over Ethernet enabling service providers to extend their reach and addressable customer base to include both voice and data without sacrificing revenues from existing TDM services. The T-Marc 254H has been optimized for wireless backhaul applications with standards-based synchronization and is temperature-hardened for outdoor installations.
Advanced Networking Features
The T-Marc offers a rich management toolset for multi-vendor interoperability in element, network and service management to reduce operational expenses (OPEX) and scale management to large access networks.
