RAD Data Communications introduced a customer-located, remotely managed Ethernet Network Termination Unit (E-NTU) for the North American market. The new ETX-102 provides a demarcation point between customer premises equipment and the operator’s network, permitting end-to-end control of Ethernet services in the fiber-based Ethernet First Mile. RAD said its Ethernet NTU is designed to meet the IEEE’s 802.3ah standard, enabling service providers to offer QoS and traffic management solutions for small and medium-sized organizations. The unit supports incremental Ethernet access rates up to 100 Mbps. It also supports enhanced Layer 2 management features for service differentiation. http://www.radusa.com

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
ARCNET served 1977–1990. What ultimately replaced it?
ARCNET a token-passing bus/star LAN where a token circulated by station address (not physical position), giving predictable performance over coax at 2.5 Mbit/s. Its job passed to Ethernet — 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.
