ADVA Optical Networking SE announced that Telstra Wholesale is leveraging ADVA FSP 150 technology to provide its Rapid Mobile Activation service. The new capabilities enable Telstra Wholesale's communication service provider (CSP) customers to quickly provision Ethernet connectivity and deliver greater levels of resilience. Rapid Mobile Activation uses the wholesale part of the Telstra Mobile Network to enable instant revenue generation.

Instead of weeks or months, CSPs can now deploy new services in a matter of days while fiber is being activated. Built on ADVA's edge solution with zero-touch provisioning, the self-install option for the service could also help customers drive down operational costs by reducing site visits. With Telstra Wholesale's new offering, CSPs across Australia can install their customer premises equipment using Ethernet over mobile.

End users then have faster access to services while they wait for fiber to be provisioned. Once fiber is in place, the mobile service becomes a backup so that Layer 2 services are available even in the event of a fiber outage. The new capabilities are enabled by the ADVA FSP 150-XG300 Series of 10Gbit/s multi-layer demarcation, aggregation and edge computing devices.

The technology delivers zero-touch provisioning at the network edge with fully automated activation and advanced security controls. It enables Telstra Wholesale to provide a differentiated service that offers a unique competitive advantage.
