"The company's sales growth and bookings activity in 2005 reflect strong channel results over a broad geographical area, significant repeat customer purchases and respectable market penetration for devices released at the end of the previous year," stated Efraim Wachtel, President and CEO of RAD Data Communications.
"This upward trend is expected to accelerate in the coming years as the company rolls out additional product solutions that support multiple services over a variety of physical interfaces and across different network technologies," he added.
"RAD is focusing its corporate activity on segments with high growth potential such as carrier Ethernet access, pseudo-wire emulation and cellular backhaul while continuing to invest in mature technologies that serve users whose applications rely on traditional network configurations." This year, for example, RAD will unveil the world's first-to-market pre-standard implementation of ITU Y.1731 and IEEE 802.1ag, which define new end-to-end, carrier-class Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) tools for Ethernet networks.

These new capabilities enable Ethernet service providers to proactively monitor their service end-to-end, an advantage that both minimizes operational expenses and allows guaranteeing SLAs with customers.
In addition, RAD has become the first manufacturer in the world to offer a series of miniaturized Fast Ethernet-over-PDH and SDH/SONET connectivity devices housed in standard SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) packages.
These miniature products can be plugged into any regular MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compatible socket to provide remote bridging over E1/T1 and E3/T3 lines.
"RAD has taken the lead in helping carriers and their business customers to benefit from rapid, low-cost deployment of Ethernet-based services over any network infrastructure," Wachtel notes.
"RAD has been working hand-in-hand with other leading vendors and major service providers to standardize the technology and service definitions for the emerging carrier Ethernet access network." RAD's customers include organizations in industry, finance, the military, education, transportation, commerce, public utilities and telecommunications.
The company also works closely with leading carriers and service providers to supply system solutions and expertise for building public and private access networks for virtually any technology over any infrastructure.
