Provider of interconnection services, Neutral Tandem has deployed the FSP 3000 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) platform of ADVA Optical Networking, in the New York City. The DWDM platform links three crucial network nodes in the city.
The ADVA FSP 3000 platform is a reliable Wavelength Division Multiplexing system that has been designed specifically for service providers who need a cost-efficient, versatile system, which will protect, multiplex and transport high-speed video, voice, storage and data applications.
The FSP 3000 platform powers high-speed connectivity required to meet the increasing bandwidth demands for businesses. By introducing the existing SONET OC-48 system onto the DWDM platform in the three-node ring, Neutral Tandem now has capacity for a maximum of 40 individual 10 Gb Ethernet circuits in between each of the locations. The company’s customers are already using the network at 1 and 10 GbE speeds.
Neutral Tandem’s Senior Vice-President, John Bullock stated that the FSP 3000 platform was selected because of its cost-efficient reliability, smaller footprint, and high-density design. He added that the solution offers the capability to meet the customers’ bandwidth needs for Ethernet services.
