Telstra is deploying ADVA Optical Networking's Fiber Service Platform (FSP) 3000 for metro rings in major Australian cities. The deployment is part of a 3-year contract awarded to Siemens IC Networks for the carrier's nationwide 10 Gbps optical backbone network. The contract includes ADVA's FSP 3000 metro system, Siemens' Multiservice Provisioning Platform Surpass hiT 70xx series, and Siemens' Surpass hiT 7500 DWDM long-haul equipment. The FSP 3000 will be installed at critical junctions in metro areas to interconnect Siemens' long-haul systems. The FSP 3000 employs parallel use of DWDM and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technology to enable all protocols between 8 Mbps and 10 Gbps and up to 256 applications to be transported over one single fiber pair. The system's design supports point-to-point, linear add/drop, ring, and meshed network topologies with up to ten nodes across distances up to 500 km without regeneration. ADVA's platforms enables two Gigabit Ethernet connections to be carried on the same OC-48/STM16 wavelength. The equipment will be integrated into Telstra's SDH network and managed by Siemens' Transport Network Management System (TNMS) at Telstra's Global Operations Centre. Financial terms were not disclosed.
