RAD is Finalist for Innovation Award at Celebration of Ethernet’s 40th Birthday

The groundbreaking MiNID, RAD Data Communications' innovative and tiny network interface device, is a finalist for a NetEvents Innovation Award.

Mahwah, NJ, May 22, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The recently introduced MiNID Ethernet Demarcation SFP Sleeve, part of RAD Data Communications’ Service Assured Access (SAA) solution, has been named a finalist for the NetEvents Innovation Awards in the Telecoms Product category.

Award winners will be selected by an independent judging panel of IT industry experts along with leading technology journalists and analysts. They will announce their decisions at a May 22 charity gala celebrating “Ethernet’s 40th Birthday” at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, in conjunction with the Ethernet Innovation Summit.

A huge game changer for service providers, wholesale carriers and mobile operators looking to upgrade their networks to deliver reliable bandwidth with end-to-end SLA assurance guarantees, the MiNID’s innovative SFP sleeve design helps break through the barriers of cost and complexity.

It is a true plug-and-play solution that replaces standalone demarcation devices and both user-facing and network-facing SFPs, while virtually eliminating power, space, and cabling expenses. Because the MiNID is an SFP sleeve and not the actual SFP itself, certification issues (with multiple SFPs) are non-existent, and it is fully compatible with third party SFPs, switches, routers, small cells, DSLAMs, and other equipment.
