FSP 150CP

The Ethernet UNI demarcation device

The ADVA FSP 150 family of Ethernet access products provides devices for Ethernet demarcation, extension and aggregation to support delivery of intelligent Ethernet services both in-region and out-of-region. 

ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 150CP product provides protected Ethernet extensions over fiber for service providers who are looking to offer a carrier grade high availability Ethernet service over point to point architectures. The product includes a rich set of remote operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) capabilities designed to eliminate craft truck rolls and provide remote visibility. The devices can work in book-end applications, with ADVA Optical Networking aggregation devices such as the FSP 150M, as well as with industry standard data switches, routers and other aggregation devices. 

Multiple services can share a single WAN utilizing a sophisticated UNI function that includes support for VLANs and Ethernet virtual circuits (EVCs). Small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical devices address a wide range of optical fibers, reaches and wavelengths.

The FSP 150CP units are based on the IEEE802.3ah Ethernet First Mile (EFM) standard and support the lightweight Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) protocol as defined within the standard. ADVA Optical Networking has extended this protocol to offer additional management capabilities and allow full management control of remote customer premises devices without the need for costly management overlay networks. Advanced Performance Monitoring (PM) capabilities are built into the units as a standard feature allowing operators to efficiently monitor and maintain customer service level agreements.

The FSP 150CP supports 10/100Mbit/s and Gigabit Ethernet data rates and can be used to create diverse services such as Emulated Line, Emulated LAN or Virtual Private Networks from a basic set of building blocks. Remote bandwidth management and over-subscription of aggregate ports is also supported allowing flexible network deployment with simple service upgrade.

The extremely low cost of ownership of the FSP 150 family allows mass market deployment of Ethernet as a transport solution for access networks.).
