ADVA (FSE: ADV) today announced that VicTrack is building its new Transport and Government Secure Network (TGSN) on the ADVA FSP 3000. The infrastructure enables railway operators to harness next-generation signaling technologies and provides high-speed connectivity for government agencies. Carrying services at speeds up to 100Gbit/s throughout the Australian state of Victoria, the flexible and fully redundant ROADM network also empowers VicTrack to offer highly reliable and cost-efficient wholesale services at 10Gbit/s and 100Gbit/s. What’s more, the FSP 3000 creates a modular network architecture, which is scalable and ready to support future transport innovation. ADVA’s team is also providing a comprehensive range of professional services from network design to ongoing training and support ...

The upcoming arrival of 400Gbit/s ZR/ZR+ QSFP-DD small form factor optics is creating high expectations. With 400Gbit/s DWDM coherent interfaces and the ability to be plugged into routers and switches, these new coherent optics promise faster connectivity between routers and switches at lower cost. In fact, the cost of these interfaces is expected to be so low that some network operators and service providers have started to rethink their network architecture and are now wondering about taking a fairly disruptive approach: Would it be possible to eliminate the DWDM optical layer? Would a network solution with routers equipped with these small-form-factor 400Gbit/s interfaces be a more cost-efficient alternative? ...

Optical spectrum services promise a new level of flexibility, scale and control. But can this approach really enable service providers to monetize unused spectrum and give end users the power to design and run their own virtual optical networks? Read more about the reality of spectrum as a service ...

ADVA (FSE: ADV) today announced that Netsam has deployed its FSP 3000 and FSP 150 to dramatically expand its metro network and answer fierce data demand. Featuring the ADVA FSP 3000 open line system (OLS) with micro-ROADMs and ADVA FSP 150 demarcation technology, the new solution gives the Swedish communication service provider (CSP) the power to quickly and easily turn up new high-value services. The flexible ROADM-based photonic layer ensures Netsam’s fiber resources are used with optimal efficiency. With this and the ADVA FSP 150 deployed at customer premises, Netsam is able to provide SLA-based business services with speeds up to 100Gbit/s. ADVA’s partner NetNordic, a leading solutions integrator in Scandinavia, also played a key role in the project …

ADVA Optical Networking announced today that Bahnhof has selected the ADVA FSP 3000 with 100Gbit/s core technology for its national backbone network. Bahnhof, one of Sweden’s largest internet service providers, chose to overhaul its existing infrastructure in response to rapid growth in bandwidth demand from its enterprise and residential customers. The meshed DWDM solution, complete with multi-degree ROADMs, links every city in the south of Sweden from Stockholm to Malmo. The long-haul network, which also incorporates the Danish capital, Copenhagen, and Norway’s capital, Oslo, transmits capacity of 100Gbit/s at every point. The new transport system is fully scalable and ready to support encrypted services. 

ADVA Optical Networking announced today that Telecom Italia has deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 with multi-degree ROADM technology throughout its large-scale metropolitan networks. Italy’s leading telecommunication and ICT service provider is using the scalable WDM transport solution to address the enormous bandwidth demand of its residential and business customers. The solution delivers capacity of up to 100Gbit/s to every major Italian city and the ADVA FSP 3000’s modular design ensures that the infrastructure is ready for further growth. ADVA Optical Networking’s technology is integral to the new dynamic architecture and flexible service routing, which reduces Telecom Italia’s planning time and operational costs. By simplifying and accelerating the process of rolling out new services, Telecom Italia is opening up new revenue streams for its many enterprise clients.

ADVA Optical Networking announced today that Telia Eesti has deployed its 100Gbit/s core technology in its national backbone network. One of the largest telecommunication providers in the Baltic states, Telia Eesti is using the ADVA FSP 3000 solution, complete with multi-degree ROADMs, to link every major Estonian city in an ultra-high bandwidth long-haul network. The major upgrade is Telia Eesti’s response to exploding bandwidth demand from mobile, residential and business customers.
