FSP 150CC-825

The Ethernet over Fiber (GbE) device

The FSP 150CC-825 provides Ethernet service extension over fiber for service providers looking to deploy intelligent differentiated Ethernet services. The device can work in book-end applications, with ADVA Optical Networking aggregation devices and with industry-standard data switches and routers. With five Ethernet service ports and advanced service definition capabilities, the FSP 150CC-825 is capable of supporting multiple customers and multiple services over a shared Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet optical connection. Optional network interface protection and redundant power supplies ensure highest service availability.

ADVA Optical Networking’s patent-pending Etherjack® demarcation technology allows a carrier to provide an intelligent Ethernet service demarcation point compliant with the latest Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) standards such as IEEE 802.3ah, IEEE 802.1ag, ITU-T Y.1731 and RFC 2544. Combined with an MEF-certified User Network Interface (UNI), the FSP 150CC-825 enables carriers to deliver 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-class Ethernet service.

Individual customers and services are separated utilizing the sophisticated UNI function that includes support for Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVC) as well as hierarchical Quality of Service (QoS) management. Verification of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be performed on a per-service basis to ensure high service availability for mission-critical applications.

As Carrier Ethernet networks scale, low-touch provisioning capabilities become essential to ensure cost-efficient service rollout and significantly reduce the need for truck rolls. With the extensive set of standards-based auto-configuration functions and remote OAM capabilities, unskilled craft personnel can install and turn-up services without onsite provisioning.
