Managed Enterprise Services ADVA Optical Networking s FSP 3000 WDM platform is foundation for BT Openreach s new Optical Spectrum Access service, designed to offer retail service providers an efficient option to serve their respective multisite business customers to transport enormous amounts of data with lowest latency possible Applications include data center connectivity for cloud and virtualized services, business continuity and disaster recovery, financial trading, video conferencing, and data backhaul Relationship with BT builds on ADVA Optical Networking s standing as trusted partner for Ethernet access devices and for managed enterprise services 11
Innovation Drives Higher Margins Striving for the Lowest Cost per GbE Mile Telecom service providers and enterprises have made it clear they need 100G transport technology in their networks in order to handle increased data traffic and bandwidth use. While the industry moves quickly with developing 100G DWDM for optical transport networks, speed isn t the only issue to be addressed. Spectral efficiency, price, space and power dissipation per bit also have to be improved over 10G and 40G DWDM transport solutions. The 100G modulation format defined by the Optical Internetworking Forum is optimized for WAN and backbone regional networks and does not meet these requirements when it comes to common metro and enterprise applications. ADVA Optical Networking recently launched the industry s first 100G transport solution for the metro market, based on non-coherent technology and complementing our coherent 100G long-haul solution The metro system can span up to 500km in distance, and it increases the capacity of WDM networks while lowering cost and reducing space and power consumption Potential to generate significant revenues due to first-in-market advantage 12
