ADVA today launched itsย FSP 3000 OpenFabric 1200 solution to help network operators significantly reduce metro costs. The OTN-based technology enables client services to be groomed into 400Gbit/s wavelengths, maximizing fiber capacity and supporting cost-efficient coherent networks. The latest member of the FSP 3000 OpenFabricย Series combines open 400Gbit/s pluggable coherent technology with OTN switching on a blade, increasing wavelength efficiency. The open switch ponder card can be added to any network without requiring additional adaptors. Specifically engineered for the 400Gbit/s era, the ADVA FSP 3000 OpenFabric1200 features 1200Gbit/s interface capacity and supports Ethernet and OTN services from 10Gbit/s to 400Gbit/s.
The new technology is part of the ADVA FSP 3000 OpenFabricโขย Series, a family of switchponders built for maximum openness, flexibility and scale. The OpenFabric1200โขย offers OTN switching with the benefits of open CFP2 pluggable coherent interfaces. With Terabit capacity, the new card is the ideal tool for leveraging more value from deployed metro infrastructure and upgrading legacy networks to the latest coherent pluggable technology. The FSP 3000 OpenFabric1200โขย can work in multiple operation modes: ADM on a blade, DWDM muxponders, or OTN cross-connect. Whatโs more, thanks to its open design, client services can be connected directly or via standard OTN-based transponders without the need for any adapters.
โThe strain on todayโs transport infrastructure is growing like never before. Todayโs operators need new solutions that can meet rapidly rising data demand while also driving down costs. Thatโs why weโve developed our FSP 3000 OpenFabric1200โข. It offers a simple way to dramatically increase fibre efficiency by supporting lower-speed service grooming at the network edge. By deploying OpenFabric1200โขย in ring or hub-and-spoke topologies, operators can significantly reduce switching and cross-connect requirements in the core,โ said Christoph Glingener, CTO, ADVA. โWhatโs more, our open Terabit-scale switchponder solution can be easily added to any network.โ
โOur FSP 3000 OpenFabric1200โขย will be a key tool in tackling skyrocketing bandwidth demand while supporting existing low-speed services. The technology takes our OpenFabricโขย concept to the next level, enabling traffic grooming at the edge where itโs most efficient and delivering 1.2Tbit/s interface capacity. It offers the power to adapt to changing traffic demands without a hardware upgrade while simplifying operations and enabling network operators to scale as and when needed,โ commented Cornelius Fรผrst, director, product line management, ADVA. โOur FSP 3000 OpenFabric1200โขย is the flexible OTN solution thatโs about to switch things up. For metro network operators, our new switch ponder opens the door to the benefits of disaggregated environments and the latest pluggable coherent 400Gbit/s technology.โ
