ADVA introduces new 10G edge device for outdoor environments

ADVA launched its FSP 150-XO106, enabling communication service providers (CSPs) to deliver 10Gbit/s Carrier Ethernet services in challenging environments. The highly versatile edge demarcation device is compact and temperature-hardened, making it ideal for deployment in space-restricted locations and harsh outdoor conditions. Requiring no cabinet or cooling, it can be easily deployed on walls, poles and cell towers. The feature-rich solution includes advanced OAM capabilities, supports precise synchronization and fully integrates with ADVA’s Ensemble Controller and Packet Director for simple network management.

“The emergence of more connected devices and the boom in video streaming create a new set of demands at the network edge. So too does the rapid digital transformation across all industries, from healthcare to education to agriculture. Our compact and ruggedized FSP 150-XO106 is specifically designed to address this need by enabling 10Gbit/s demarcation technology in any outdoor space,” said Mike Heffner, GM of Edge Cloud, ADVA. “The versatility and ease of deployment of our new device will bring reliable, high-speed connectivity to more places than ever before.”

Despite its simplicity and compact design, the ADVA FSP 150-XO106 offers the comprehensive feature set required for high-performance Carrier Ethernet services with sophisticated OAM capabilities. It includes well-established interfaces and protocols for easy integration and operation. With its hardware-assisted synchronization features, the ADVA FSP 150-XO106 also provides assured distribution of highly precise time, phase and frequency information. What’s more, it fully integrates with ADVA’s Ensemble Controller and Packet Director for intuitive management and control.

“We’ve created a solution optimized for cost-sensitive, high-bandwidth edge applications in any environment. Our FSP 150-XO106 features redundant power supply units. It doesn’t require air conditioning and doesn’t even need a cabinet. Simply attach the solution to any wall or pole for highly reliable, high-performance services,” commented Eli Angel, VP of product line management at ADVA. “The ability to deploy 10Gbit/s demarcation technology outdoors is now an essential requirement for CSPs and enterprise network operators across the world. In any weather, our new ruggedized edge solution will unleash the full potential of high-speed Carrier Ethernet services at the edge of the network.”
