21. Competition Landscape
Main competitors: Accedian, Viavi
Competing with Accedian:
VCX is a complex, proprietary, pricy solution that mandates Nano modules control by VCX, forcing vendor lock
Nano modules lack independent PM generation and reporting
Our solution is more flexible, open (independent “Lego” blocks)
Competing with Viavi:
Two distinct SFP products for performance monitoring (JMEP) and packet capture (SFProbe)
Limited form factors (SFP only - no STU, sleeve)
Leverage on MiNID variety of form factors and feature set

22. Summary Adjacent market to L2 NID, very competitive environment
RAD’s solution is based on standard building blocks: MiNID, RADview, PMC
Two new great wins in 2016: Sunrise and Cellcom
