FSP 150CM

The Etherjack® NNI demarcation device

The FSP 150CM is a chassis-based system designed to provide Ethernet demarcation in a central office or other high-density environment. Primarily targeted at External Network-to-Network Interface (E-NNI) applications, it is well-suited for open access and wholesale carrier-to-carrier applications. It enables carriers to scale their Ethernet services to address these larger applications while providing a manageable, cost-effective platform that is optimized to deliver intelligent services.

With 16 slots that accept a variety of module types, the FSP 150CM can address different access technologies including fiber, PDH and SONET / SDH of various rates. Beyond different speeds and feeds, the FSP 150CM supports redundant modules and service interfaces for mission-critical Carrier Ethernet applications. With the optional integrated aggregation modules, the system can provide V-LAN, PBB-TE and MPLS multiplexing required for a variety of access network architectures.

The FSP 150CM interoperates with ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 150CC family of customer premise devices, as well as a wide range of industrystandard demarcation products, switches and routers. It provides a single management connection for the FSP 150CM platform and any subtended downstream devices. Low-touch provisioning capabilities ensure a costefficient service rollout and significantly reduce the need for truck rolls. With the extensive set of standards-based auto-configuration functions and remote OAM capabilities implemented across all products of the FSP 150 family, unskilled craft personnel can install and turn-up services without any onsite provisioning.

The FSP 150CM also supports ADVA Optical Networking’s patent-pending Etherjack® demarcation technology for intelligent service management and definition. It allows carriers to provide intelligent Ethernet service demarcation points in their Carrier Ethernet access network that are compliant with the latest OAM standards such as IEEE 802.3ah, IEEE 802.1ag, ITU-T Y.1731 and RFC 2544.
