OpenFabric™

Today’s communication service providers (CSPs) are eager to leverage the power of flex-coherent technologies to lower bandwidth costs and provide more scalability. The efficient switching and grooming of lower speed services into high-speed coherent wavelengths plays a key role to maximize fiber usage and minimize costs.  But this is far from easy with traditional OTN cross-connect technology. That’s why so many CSPs are looking to transition from closed systems with limited flexibility to architecture that’s open, disaggregated and completely future-proof. They need a solution that easily removes constraints, is simple to configure and can be used all the way from the edge to the core. They need the ADVA FSP 3000 OpenFabric™.

Our FSP 3000 OpenFabric™ is an entirely new OTN switching technology specifically engineered to enable CSPs to leverage more value from their deployed infrastructure. By disaggregating functional components, it helps remove the constraints of traditional chassis solutions along with the usual slot-capacity restrictions. With none of the restrictions that come from a closed system and its proprietary fabric adapters, our FSP 3000 OpenFabric™ opens the door to unlimited innovation cycles. Now, for the first time, CSPs can deploy a fully open and disaggregated OTN switching system throughout the network.

With a flexible and standardized open front plane, without fixed slot capacity and proprietary adapters, our FSP 3000 OpenFabric™ eliminates wasted capacity and unnecessary costs. It gives CSPs the freedom to scale as and when demand requires it. By using a new form of open OTN switching technology, our FSP 3000 OpenFabric™ eliminates the boundaries of legacy OTN solutions. It provides an open and disaggregated solution that can scale capacity from the edge to the core with no limitations. What's more, as well as providing flexibility and accelerating service availability, our FSP 3000 OpenFabric™ is an incredibly cost-effective solution.
