Expanded FSP
3000 Delivers Several Key Technologies to Power New Era of Metro
Networks
Munich,
Germany. June 20, 2017. ADVA Optical
Networking today launched a major expansion of its FSP 3000
platform designed specifically for metro networks. The expansion
features three new technologies that will enable network operators
to meet the rapidly changing needs of the metro environment with
unprecedented levels of flexibility, scale and synchronization.
Until now, it was too costly to introduce such capabilities in
metro infrastructures, but the expanded ADVA FSP 3000 removes this
barrier. It delivers a flexible and automated optical layer without
the cost of traditional ROADM technology. It also features an
entirely new cross-connect that enables customers to scale their
optical transport networks (OTNs) without any capacity lock-in. And
it supports the precise synchronization of 5G technologies without
any of the current OTN stumbling blocks.
"Our team has an innate
understanding of metro networks. We've been innovating in this
space for over two decades. Today's announcement though, is
something special. It represents the future of the metro - a true
transformation of what we currently have," said Christoph
Glingener, CTO, COO, ADVA Optical Networking. "Our FSP 3000
MicroConnect(TM), OpenFabric(TM) and TrueTime(TM) are the three
principal building blocks of a metro network designed for the cloud
generation. What's more, they are completely open. We've built each
of these technologies with operations teams in mind and ensured
simple SDN control through our FSP Network Hypervisor. Working
side-by-side on this project with network operators from all across
the globe has made it clear that the time for tomorrow's metro is
now."
The expanded ADVA FSP 3000 has
three essential parts. The ADVA FSP 3000 MicroConnect(TM) is a
ROADM-based photonic layer cost-optimized for metro networks. It
consolidates multiple key functions to ensure that footprint,
configuration and cabling needs are kept to an absolute minimum.
The ADVA FSP 3000 OpenFabric(TM) is an entirely new OTN
cross-connect designed to remove slot capacity assignments and the
proprietary fabric adapters of a closed system that limit access to
innovation cycles. Now, network operators can use any mix of
optical services, and scale as and when needed. The ADVA FSP 3000
TrueTime(TM) reimagines synchronization transport over optical
networks. To deliver the necessary time synchronization for 5G, the
ADVA FSP 3000 TrueTime(TM) uses time-sensitive technologies to
deliver the highest performance possible and automatically
compensates delay asymmetries.
"Metro networks are a critical
element in today's connectivity mix, but they're fast approaching a
roadblock. Metro networks are increasingly an intersection for data
centers, carrier hotels, enterprises, radio access networks and
broadband access points and they no longer have the flexibility,
scale or synchronization capabilities to meet all these demands,"
commented Stephan Rettenberger, SVP, marketing and investor
relations, ADVA Optical Networking. "Tomorrow's metro environments
need to be able to accommodate an increasingly complex and
demanding customer set and that's the whole basis for our expanded
FSP 3000. With our MicroConnect(TM), OpenFabric(TM) and
TrueTime(TM), network operators are equipping themselves with
everything they need to meet their customers' expectations. Make no
mistake, what we've developed here is the blueprint for a new
metro."
