FSP 150CC-584

The Ethernet access platform

The FSP 150CC-584 provides Ethernet service extension over bonded T1/E1 services for carriers who are looking to deploy an intelligent differentiated Ethernet service to locations served by copper-based local loops. Supporting up to eight T1s or E1s, the product enables delivery of Ethernet services up to 12Mbit/s or 16Mbit/s using the latest LCAS/VCAT bonding as well as MLPPP to ensure interoperability with a wide range of industry-standard aggregation platforms. Combined with its temperaturehardened design for demanding outdoor applications, the FSP 150CC-584 is ideally suited for mobile backhaul applications.

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-584 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 (SLA) 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 implemented in FSP 150CC-584, unskilled craft personnel can install and turn-up services without any onsite provisioning.
