Business challenges
To remain competitive and profitable, service providers need cost-
effective and scalable second mile transport network solutions enabling
flexible backhaul of broadband services from access aggregation sites to
service edge router locations. Service transparency, resiliency and the
support of varying network topologies are key requirements. In addition,
for WDM-enabled networks, optimizing wavelength utilization keeps costs
low by efficiently using scarce fiber resources in the second mile network.
With the growing amount of bandwidth and service complexity, special
attention must be drawn to operational simplification which has a direct
impact on reduction of network operating costs. Automatic service
provisioning features combined with flexible node processing and rich
OAM components for service monitoring and assurance allow network
operators to significantly reduce complexity and effort in network
operations. Consequent migration to a single converged technology
platform for access and metro core transport networking also improves
time-to-market and further reduces operational costs.
Solution
Next-generation optical networks based on ADVA Optical Networking’s
Optical+Ethernet technology are the ideal solution for deploying cost-
effective broadband backhaul networks, which will scale with the
tremendous bandwidth growth expected over the next decade. The FSP
3000 WDM transport solution provides intelligent transport for any
Ethernet service.
Providing advanced sub-wavelength functionality, such as Gigabit
Ethernet ADM capability, on top of a scalable and flexible C/DWDM optical
layer, transparent Ethernet services can be cost-effectively aggregated
and transported through the backhaul network. Pass-through, add/drop
and drop-and-continue operation allows minimizing connection end points
