ADVA Employs New Transceivers for 500 km Metro DWDM Reach

ADVA Optical Networking introduced new optical transceiver and amplifier modules for its Fiber Service Platform (FSP) 3000 metro DWDM platform. The new modules deliver higher tolerance for impairment, greater dispersion load, and higher gain; thereby extending the system's reach capability to 500 km in metro regional networks without regeneration.


The FSP 3000 employs parallel use of DWDM and TDM to carry all protocols between 8 Mbps and 10 Gbps and up to 256 applications with a total capacity of 640 Gbps to be transported over a single fiber pair. The system's design supports point-to-point, linear add/drop, ring, and meshed network topologies of up to 10 nodes.
