ADVA (Munich, Germany) today introduced its FSP 150-XJ128, a Layer 2 demarcation device designed to offer an easy route to 25Gbit/s connectivity services. The company says the platform is specifically designed to enable enterprise networks to expand in an easy and cost-effective way.
"Until now, businesses had to choose between juggling their 10Gbit/s devices or making the expensive leap to 100Gbit/s," contends a product announcement, which adds, "With the ADVA FSP 150-XJ128, they can address soaring data demand without using complex modulation techniques or undergoing a costly footprint increase. The solution simply slots into existing network infrastructure and delivers 2.5x the bandwidth at a lower cost per bit."
Christoph Glingener, CTO, ADVA, commented, “Our FSP 150-XJ128 is the technology that businesses have been calling for. It empowers them to take the natural next step with zero hassle and without unnecessary expense. For many enterprises, trying to manage rapidly rising bandwidth needs using 10Gbit/s demarcation devices has become a real headache. Yet it doesn’t make economic sense to overhaul their entire system and go all the way to 100Gbit/s. What we’re providing is the ideal stepping stone for secure business growth. Until today, there was no middle ground. Now, businesses can slot our FSP 150-XJ128 into their existing network infrastructure and seize new revenue opportunities,” he concluded
The ADVA FSP 150-XJ128 is positioned for 5G sites moving to 25Gbit/s and is billed as an ideal solution for preparing cable networks for DOCSIS 4.0 connectivity and above. The compact device supports 25Gbit/s Ethernet services with sophisticated OAM capabilities.
