The Egate-20 Ethernet to TDM gateway interconnects TDM and packet networks, providing advanced Ethernet bridging with fully channelized TDM capabilities. Typically located in a central location, the Egate-20 can connect up to eight LANs from framed or unframed E1 or T1 circuits, or 248 or 192 remote LANs over Fractional E1/T1 circuits. The Egate-20 enables Carrier Ethernet access services such as transparent Ethernet private line (point-to-point) or Ethernet private LAN (point-to-multipoint or any-to-any) at granular rates. The Egate-20 also supports differentiated services on the VLAN and IP layer with four priority queues. Together with service scalability, small footprint and low power consumption, Egate-20 significantly reduces equipment costs and simplifies network operation. When used in conjunction with RAD
