WHOLESALE ETHERNET NIDs
All GM4 and XM5 NIDs support MEF E-Access Service
demarcation at the Network to Network Interface (NNI) to
simplify wholesale deployments.
iConverter HybridNID ®
The iConverter HybridNID (Virtual NID, or vNID) enables the
delivery of Carrier Ethernet 2.0 E-Access services with value-
added revenue from independent SLA verification. With the
iConverter HybridNID installed at the customer premises or cell
tower, both a Service Provider and Wholesale Access Provider
can independently provision, manage and monitor the Carrier
Ethernet service.
This unified demarcation simplifies service maintenance at out-
of-franchise customer locations. The HybridNID is available in
GM3 and GM4 configurations.
SERVICE OAM NIDs

GM3
The iConverter GM3 NIDs provide demarcation for Ethernet
services with IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731 Service OAM to
ensure proper enforcement and compliance to SLAs.
The GM3 NIDs support Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP),
color-aware rate limiting and Class of Service differentiation
and prioritization. GM3 NIDs are available in 2-Port, 3-Port
standalone units and chassis plug-in modules.
LINK OAM NIDs

M2 NIDs
The iConverter M2 Class NIDs provide Ethernet E-Line service
demarcation for services that do not require SLA performance
assurance. These cost-effective NIDs support 802.3ah Link
OAM with fault detection for Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM)
access links. The M2 NIDs provide MEF 9, 14 and 21 certified
Ethernet service demarcation in telecom networks, and
mission-critical managed fiber links in enterprise, government
and utility networks.
M2 Class NIDs are available in 2-Port standalone units and
chassis plug-in modules that support copper-to-fiber and fiber-
to-fiber demarcation for 10/100 and 10/100/1000 services.
