NEW DELHI: RAD Data Communications has announced the launch of its new LRS-52 SHDSL modem rack, a chassis providing Symmetric High-Bitrate Digital Subscriber Loop (SHDSL) service within the Local Loop. The new product has been specifically engineered for Indian market by RAD.
India has been the largest market for 2Mbps (ASMi) HDSL and SHDSL leased line modems for RAD. Nearly 33 per cent of all ASMi modems manufactured by RAD are sold in India, and these modems are locally manufactured in India since 2004.
Jayant Deo, president, RAD Data Communications India, said, “RAD has been the market leader with over 50 per cent market share in this product range in India. Being sensitive to market feedback and in view of the potential, the ASMi product was specially customized for Indian market i.e. feature add-ons were implemented locally to suit the market requirements.”
Each port in the LRS-52 dedicated SHDSL modem rack works opposite an SHDSL remote device in a point-to-point configuration, providing each port with an independent connection. The product supports SHDSL technology in full compliance with ITU and ETSI standards. The LRS-52 dedicated SHDSL modem rack is a cost effective non-modular modem rack that can be used with a dedicated number of ports. The user can choose between 12 and 24 ports in the 2-wire version, and between six and 12 ports in the 4-wire version. The high density reduces the price per port.
“LRS-52 adds value to our existing range of highly popular SHDSL solutions in India by optimizing SHDSL modem rack costs for small-to-medium capacity central sites located in smaller cities or larger towns. The timing of this product introduction is excellent as the telecom services market in India is rapidly expanding in such locations,” explained Deo.
The LRS-52 is available in separate versions for each user interface (E1, V.35 or X.21). The device has an SNMP agent on board that provides full SNMP management of the central and the remote units. It includes a built-in Ethernet bridge and dual Ethernet ports for the connection of a large number of racks to single or multiple management stations.
