(EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) Using Ethernet to provide connectivity from the customer to the carrier. See 802.3ah. ) capabilities to its OPTI OPTI Optical OPTI Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institution OPTI Optimal/Optimum OPTI Organizational Process Technology Innovation (process area) (R)-6100 Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP (MultiService Provisioning Platform) A high-end Cisco router that supports TDM circuits, packets and optical connections at the edge of the network. See MSSP and MSTP. ). The OPTI-6100 now provides scalability from OC-3 to OC-48, making it perfectly positioned to address virtually any access or metro ring application. The new system enables delivery of Ethernet, DS1, DS3, and optical services directly from OC-48 rings in the compact OPTI-6100 form factor, thereby minimizing cost and space requirements. The OPTI-6100 offers the flexibility to add additional network bandwidth, upgrade existing optical rings, and support Next-Generation Ethernet services. ADTRAN's addition of EFM to the platform provides carriers with the means to host multiple bonded circuits and aggregate these circuits into a single element, thus eliminating the need for multiple stand-alone pieces of equipment. This increases network efficiency, simplifies network support, leverages existing OPTI-6100 systems, and reduces overall costs for carriers and their customers.
