The ADVA FSP 3000 expands metro core transport capacity
September 13, 2010.
ADVA Optical Networking today announced that Neutral Tandem, Inc. (NASDAQ:TNDM, news, filings), a leading provider of interconnection services, has deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) platform in New York City. The FSP 3000 connects three important network nodes located at 75 Broad Street, 32 Avenue of the Americas and 60 Hudson.
ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 3000 drives the scalable, high-speed connectivity needed to deliver the fast-growing bandwidth demands of today’s business world. By rolling its existing SONET OC-48 system onto the FSP 3000 platform in this 100-km three-node ring, Neutral Tandem now has the capacity for up to 40 separate 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) circuits between each of the three locations. Neutral Tandem customers are already utilizing the network at both 1 GbE and 10 GbE rates. The additional capacity is expected to be utilized by customers of Neutral Tandem’s Ethernet eXchange service offering.
John Bullock, senior vice president, engineering and operations at Neutral Tandem stated, “ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 3000 was chosen for this critical network because of its high-density design, smaller footprint and cost-effective scalability. This solution provides us with the capacity to meet our customers’ bandwidth requirements for Ethernet services.” Bullock continued, “When Neutral Tandem required a fast response to our network expansion needs, ADVA Optical Networking demonstrated its rapid response to customers throughout the entire process of engineering, design, implementation and continuing network operations. ADVA Optical Networking is truly a trusted partner.”
Stephan Rettenberger, vice-president of marketing at ADVA Optical Networking added, “The ADVA FSP 3000 is an ideal solution for these locations in space-sensitive New York City. Not only is the smaller footprint a benefit, but the lower power consumption and operational simplicity of the ADVA FSP 3000 help reduce operational expenses (OPEX) for Neutral Tandem.”
The ADVA FSP 3000 is a scalable Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system specifically designed for service providers and large enterprises that require a flexible, cost-effective system that will multiplex, transport and protect high-speed data, storage, voice and video applications.
