Metrobility Introduces Ethernet in the First Mile Device

Metrobility Optical Systems introduced an Optical Network Unit (ONU) designed for Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) services delivered over a point-to-point fiber-based network. Metrobility's RA21 ONU is a customer premise device that provides a 100Mbps fiber connection from the service provider's network to a 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating connection for the enterprise network. The device is described as "EFM OAM Feature Ready," meaning that it supports operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) recommendations outlined in the draft IEEE 802.3ah standard. The device can be managed from the central office using Metrobility's NetBeacon Element Manager, which provides remote failure indication (including Dying Gasp), remote loopback and link monitoring. List pricing ranges from $899 for 10/100Mbps copper/multimode fiber to $3,199 for extended long haul singlemode versions.
