FSP 150

The Intelligent Ethernet Access Product Family

ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 150 family of Ethernet access products provides devices for Ethernet demarcation, extension and aggregation to support the delivery of intelligent Ethernet services both in-region and out-of-region. The family enables service providers to deliver profitable and differentiated Ethernet services.

Incorporating the latest OAM and advanced Etherjack® demarcation capabilities, the FSP 150 family enables carriers to deliver intelligent Ethernet services that can be remotely monitored and managed with a minimal number of truck rolls. It provides the service intelligence necessary to encourage Enterprise data users to make the switch from frame relay, private line and ATM services to a carrier grade Ethernet service.

The FSP 150 family enables service providers to deliver ubiquitous Ethernet services by supporting a wide range of Ethernet transport options, allowing the extension of Ethernet services over available fiber, copper, TDM/PDH and SONET/SDH facilities. It enables service providers to support multi-site enterprise applications over a variety of leased or owned facilities anywhere in the world, while providing a consistent Ethernet customer experience guaranteed by integrated Etherjack® demarcation.

As Ethernet networks scale, the FSP 150 family’s advanced aggregation capabilities support carrier grade transport architectures such as 1+1 and ring topologies, while advanced VLAN capabilities enable 1:1000 port reductions over subscribed access services. Intelligent aggregation enables service providers to offer advanced Ethernet services in a cost-effective manner.

ETHERJACK®
ADVA Optical Networking’s patent pending Etherjack® technology allows a carrier to deploy profitable Ethernet services by providing the industry’s first intelligent Ethernet demarcation point, which includes an 802.1ag/802.3ah aligned Network Interface Device (NID) or Network Termination Equipment (NTE) for OAM functionality, plus an MEF aligned User Network Interface (UNI) for providing advanced services definition. The Etherjack® NID includes an Etherjack® Connection Performance Analyzer (ECPA) along with port level or VLAN level loopbacks to enable a carrier to remotely diagnose faults and verify Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC) SLA conformance using RFC-2544 test suites. In addition, Etherjack® Service Assurance (ESA) provides in-service SLA monitoring critical for offering carrier grade Ethernet services. The Etherjack® service UNI provides service intelligence necessary for defining CIR, PIR and burst size of individual ports, priorities or VLANs. It uses 802.1p, 802.1q, TOS or DSCP to classify traffic into EVCs, VLANs or priority level. ADVA Optical Networking's unique demarcation function enables carriers to provide differentiated profitable Ethernet services.
