Neralink Networks, a start-up based in Herzelia, Israel, introduced an Ethernet over SONET/SDH edge platform. The Neralink MSU-300 resizes SONET/SDH channels to more efficiently transport data, enabling carriers to support up to five times more traffic on their networks without stranded bandwidth or the added cost of an overlay network. The compact unit supports native Ethernet and E1/T1/J1 TDM services. Neralink Networks said it is negotiating its first $1.8 million OEM contract for the second half of 2003. The company is looking for two more OEM distributors.

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about SONET. Here is what it replaced:
PDH (T1/E1/DS3) served from 1962. What ultimately replaced it?
PDH (T1/E1/DS3) time-division multiplexing that interleaved 24 (T1) or 30 (E1) 64 kbit/s voice channels into a frame, then stacked those into higher rates by bit-stuffing loosely synchronized streams. Its job passed to SONET — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
