ADVA Introduces New 10G Edge Device for Outdoor Environments

• Demand is rising for 10Gbit/s MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet in a wide range of locations

• Service providers need high-performance demarcation technology optimized for space-sensitive deployment and extreme conditions

• New FSP 150 device is environmentally hardened and features ADVA’s proven OAM and synchronization technology for the network edge

ADVA launched its FSP 150-XO106, enabling communication service providers (CSPs) to deliver 10Gbit/s Carrier Ethernet services in challenging environments. The highly versatile edge demarcation device is compact and temperature-hardened, making it ideal for deployment in space-restricted locations and harsh outdoor conditions. Requiring no cabinet or cooling, it can be easily deployed on walls, poles and cell towers. The feature-rich solution includes advanced OAM capabilities, supports precise synchronization and fully integrates with ADVA’s Ensemble Controller and Packet Director for simple network management.
