Germany Funet Adva Tender

ADVA today announced that CSC IT Center for Science which operates the Finnish University and Research Network FUNET has set an industry record by transporting 800Gbits farther than ever before over a live network. Using the ADVA FSP 3000 TeraFlex CoreChannel FUNETs succeeded in transmitting data at 800Gbits on links exceeding 2000km. The field trial shows how network operators can leverage new value in existing large-scale infrastructure and how FUNET can empower the Nordics academics and scientists to achieve even more. Harnessing 140GBd sub-carrier technology ADVAs new CoreChannel sled leverages 150GHz channel spacing enabling TeraFlex to deliver the markets longest reach for a single-channel 800Gbits solution.ADVAs FSP 3000 TeraFlex CoreChannel at 800Gbits speed delivered impressive reach during our tests and was stable throughout the month-long test period when we ran it on our nationwide ADVA open line system. The new 800Gbits channel technology will give us more flexibility to choose optimum modulation per use case to improve spectral efficiency. And more importantly it maps efficiently to 400GbE client services said Jani Myyry senior network specialist CSCFUNET. This field trial demonstrates that our network can smoothly support future requirements and deliver even more to our users in the Finnish research and education community. It also will strengthen our confidence that the first multi-Terabit services we aim to deliver early next year together with other Nordic research and education networks can be implemented successfully.With the addition of the new CoreChannel sled ADVAs FSP 3000 TeraFlex is the industrys most efficient high-capacity open optical terminal for all applications from metro to submarine links.With the addition of the new CoreChannel sled ADVAs FSP 3000 TeraFlex is the industrys most efficient high-capacity open optical terminal for all applications from metro to submarine links. Now trials in the ultra-long-haul FUNET transport system have proven its compatibility with deployed infrastructure and shown that it offers excellent performance in a live flexgrid network built with multi-degree ROADMs and RAMAN amplifiers. TeraFlex CoreChannel also delivers industry-leading SNR requirements making it resilient to transmission impairments. Featuring multi-rate client support the CoreChannel sled can also transport any mix of 400GbE 100GbE and 10GbE services protecting investment and providing complete flexibility.Its fantastic to see our FSP 3000 TeraFlex with CoreChannel sled pass this major test with such flying colors. Even over the FUNET networks longest distances the solution surpassed expectations and showed how incredible speeds are now possible at the lowest possible cost per bit per kilometer commented Cornelius Frst director product line management ADVA. One of the reasons our FSP 3000 TeraFlex CoreChannel is able to provide such great long-haul performance is that it carries data at 800Gbits using a 150GHz window. Not only does this help to reduce complexity and avoid stranded bandwidth but it also makes the technology future-proof. 150GHz is the channel spacing that offers the best balance between fiber capacity and optical reach. Thats why its gaining traction across the industry and why our open FSP 3000 TeraFlex CoreChannel sled is ready for new innovation further down the line.
