ADVA Launches Ethernet Access Solution for North America

ADVA Optical Networking introduced a family of low-cost,
standards-based aggregation and demarcation products for the
North American market.  ADVA's new FSP 150 platform could
be used to deliver all types of managed Ethernet services
(E-Line, E-LAN, private and virtual private) to the customer
premise -- independent of speed, service or infrastructure
(SONET/SDH, dark fiber, or native Ethernet).



ADVA said its new FSP 150 complies with the latest IEEE 802.3ah
standard for Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM).  The FSP 150
supports point-to-point, ring and tree fiber topologies and
offers 50ms protection switching for all of these deployment
scenarios. It also inter-works with layer 2/3 restoration
mechanisms and supports frame-based, zero-overhead, in-band
Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAMP)
capabilities. http://www.advaoptical.com
