The transitional nature of today’s networks poses significant challenges for communications users and service providers. On the one hand, there is the need to preserve investment in legacy equipment and continue to support legacy services. On the other hand, demand is growing for improved access network infrastructure and new services to carry broadband traffic as they migrate from legacy to next generation backbones.

Established in 1981, privately held RAD Data Communications is well-positioned to assist both enterprise users and carriers to successfully navigate the transition from legacy access networks and services to next generation infrastructure. As an internationally recognized leading manufacturer of network access equipment for data communications and telecommunications applications, RAD offers an impressive array of access product solutions to serve the technological and business requirements of service providers, carriers and enterprises. RAD solutions reduce their infrastructure and operational costs while boosting competitiveness and profitability – as they migrate to future network architectural models.

Using RAD products, carriers and enterprises can upgrade to simple, cost-effective packet-switched networks, yet continue to support legacy TDM services their end users have come to expect. Conversely, carriers and enterprises can reap the benefits of LAN and other next-generation applications and services without incurring the cost of replacing existing backbone technologies if these continue to be viable or are not fully written off.
