Painful processMiNID Product Introduction Slide #Service providers and carriers use demarcation devices to monitor SLA level for various services such as mobile backhauling, L2 services and L3 VPN.All demarcation devices share several pain factors, all can be easily translated into installation cost. Based on interviews, done with several of our European customers, it seems that installation costs range from 200EU to 2000EU, depending on country and location.As it applies to the installation of any device, this cost is not calculated in the price of the devices but being able to reduce it may have huge advantages to operators.12MiNID SFP Based Ethernet DemarcationPacketSwitchedNetwork
