Carrier Ethernet & Enterprise Access IC Solutions

Carrier-class networking functions are essential to next-generation cloud-based delivery of business services. Network Interface Devices (NIDs) and Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) must become service-aware and increasingly manageable to guarantee the security, performance and access required for business cloud services.

At Microsemi, we understand the complexity of performance measurement, Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM), Quality of Service (QoS) and network timing synchronization, along with their roles in applications leveraging real-time services over cloud networks.

Microsemi's IC portfolio and technologies for EAD/NID are engineered to meet converged network needs of Ethernet edge and aggregation networks to manage, provision and deliver SLA-based last mile carrier service access.

Through our extensive ecosystem network, Microsemi offers complete turnkey NID/EAD system solutions, including a reference design with MEF CE 2.0 compliant hardware and software. 

Microsemi's NID/EAD solutions lead the industry, enabling our customers to go from concept to production with field-proven MEF CE 2.0 compliance in less than six months, versus 18 months or more for typical solutions. With Microsemi's hardware and software implementation for carrier Ethernet needs, we deliver OEMs a considerably lower cost- and power-optimized solution than current competitive alternatives.
