ADVA Introduces the Industry's Most Scalable ENTERPRISE Solution - The FSP 2000.Business Editors MARTINSRIED/MUNICH, Germany & RAMSEY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 29, 2001 ADVA ADVA American Deaf Volleyball Association ADVA Advanced Soviet Optical Networking (German Neuer Markt: ADV), announces the launch of the Fiber Service Platform (FSP FSP - File Service Protocol ) 2000. The FSP 2000 is designed specifically for high-speed customer premise applications, targeted at enterprises, metro carriers, and storage service providers who require Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing See WDM. (DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing ) feeders into optical backbone networks, managed fiber access solutions, business continuance, or private Local Area Network (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. ) and enterprise interconnection. Developed as the most complete solution to increase the exhausted capacity of large enterprise networks and service provider metropolitan rings, ADVA's FSP 2000 is a highly-scalable, feature-rich, managed service solution. The system provides optical converter, Time Division Multiplexing (communications) time division multiplexing - (TDM) A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or "slice") for the transmission of each channel. I.e. (TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. ), coarse WDM (CWDM (Course WDM) An optical transmission method that is used for shorter distances than dense WDM (DWDM). Also known as "wide WDM," CWDM transmits fewer channels and uses wider spacing between the channels for distances up to 60 km. Wider spacing up to 25 nm, compared to 1. ), and 32-channel DWDM modules. Featuring a very low-cost entry point, the FSP 2000 combines functionality to transport up to 256 data, storage, video or voice applications on a single fiber pair from one rack. The FSP 2000 Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC O.S.C. n. short for Order to Show Cause. (See: Order to Show Cause) ) provides end-to-end network management ensuring the highest possible transmission reliability. In addition, the FSP 2000 uses a modular system structure to deliver a low initial cost allowing for gradual in-service expansion. The FSP 2000 provides a high level of flexibility through protocol and bit-rate transparent interfaces. It supports all native protocols from 10Mbit/s up to 10Gbit/s, including all speeds of Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, SONET/SDH, Digital video, ESCON (Enterprise Systems CONnection) An IBM S/390 fiber-optic channel that transfers 17 Mbytes/sec over distances up to 60 km depending on connection type. ESCON allows peripheral devices to be located across large campuses and metropolitan areas. , Fibre Channel, FICON (FIber CONnector) An IBM mainframe channel introduced with its G5 servers in 1998. Based on the Fibre Channel standard, it boosts the transfer rate of ESCON's half-duplex 17MB/sec to a full-duplex 100MB/sec. and GDPS/Coupling Link. The system fully interoperates with the software, network management, and optical interfaces of ADVA's FSP 1000 and FSP 3000 platforms. "FSP 2000 is the direct result of customer demands to provide a complete enterprise access solution in one highly-scalable platform that is capable of seamlessly integrating with our new FSP 1000 and FSP 3000 products," stated Brian P. McCann, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at ADVA Optical Networking. "This new product leverages our past sales success with our new technologies and will have a fast market impact." "ADVA has created a strong leadership position in metro access solutions for enterprise storage and LAN applications with well over 10,000 WDM channels installed at customer sites," stated Mark Storm, Frost & Sullivan's Optical Networking Program Leader. "The new FSP 2000 provides a strong complement to their integrated optical metro strategy." The FSP 2000 consists of a 19 rack-mount chassis with AC or DC power, which supports up to 8 protected or 8 unprotected transponder modules. The system is capable of supporting point-to-point, star, ring, and mesh topologies. Pricing for the system starts at $3,000 per application.
