Nera Evo XPAND IP+

Evo XPAND IP+ is an advanced version of radio with higher capacity and Ethernet features. Combining advanced Ethernet and TDM networking functionality with best-in-class microwave radio performance, Evo XPAND IP+ facilitates cost-effective, risk-free migration to IP/Ethernet and can be integrated in any pure IP/Ethernet, Native2 (hybrid) or TDM network.

About

Evo XPAND IP+ features a powerful, integrated Ethernet switch for advanced networking functionality and an optional TDM cross-connect for nodal site applications. With advanced service management and Operation Administration & Maintenance (OA&M) tools, the solution simplifies network design, reduces CAPEX and OPEX and improves overall network availability and reliability to support services with stringent SLAs.

This connector communicates with the device using an SNMP connection, allowing the user to monitor and control features of the device.
