ADVA announced that the Municipality of the County of Kings has deployed its FSP 3000 open optical transport technology, expanding Canada?s rural connectivity. The solution enables the municipality to provide reliable, high-speed broadband services to homes and businesses in currently underserved areas. It offers a major boost to the federal, provincial and municipal governments? mission to bridge the digital divide across Nova Scotia. Featuring open terminals, including ADVA?s OpenFabric? and QuadFlex? line cards, as well as colorless, directionless and flexgrid multi-degree ROADMs, the new network offers flexibility to reroute traffic for enhanced reliability. Built on ADVA FSP 3000 open optical transport technology, the County of King?s new infrastructure transmits services at speeds up to 100Gbit/s. The flexible and fully redundant ROADM network delivers the highest levels of availability by automatically rerouting traffic in the case of fiber breaks. The ADVA FSP 3000 platform simplifies operations and helps to reduce both capex and opex. The network includes ADVA?s 400Gbit/s QuadFlex? and OpenFabric? line cards, as well as lower-rate service multiplexing and an open, reconfigurable line system. With an agile modular design, this truly open solution gives the Municipality of the County of Kings total freedom to evolve and optimize each network layer separately in the future.
