ADVA Optical Networking today announced that it has launched the latest member of its market-leading FSP 150 family of intelligent Ethernet access products – the FSP 150CCf 825...

The enhanced FSP 150CCf offers service providers an Ethernet access product that can inter-work seamlessly with a number of core technologies, including Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) switching, Provider Backbone Bridging-Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). A service-agnostic approach such as this enables universal service demarcation at the customer premise, providing demarcation regardless of the network transport technology being used. Universal demarcation will have a significant impact on service providers’ capital expenditures (CAPEX), enabling them to use one demarcation technology for multiple network signals, whether this be Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), MPLS or other.

“The Ethernet access market is in a period of dramatic change and we expect significant growth during the next several years,” explained Erin Dunne, director of research services at Vertical Systems Group. “As service providers seek to migrate from legacy technologies, Ethernet is poised to be the dominant access method for the next decade. Carrier-class service demarcation, remote OAM and transport scalability are required for mass market deployment. ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 150CCf-825 addresses each of these areas with carrier-class functionality.”
