ADVA Optical Networking has declared that Northwest Open Access Network (NoaNet) has chosen ADVA FSP 3000 optical networking solution to extend its high-speed broadband service to certain regions of Washington that were previously not catered to.
The ADVA Optical Networking system offers a long-period, economic scalability for NoaNet in order to accommodate more number of users and to move from 10 to 40Gbit/s and then to 100Gbit/s services.
ADVA FSP 3000 Optical Transport Solution
NoaNet utilized ADVA's services in 2005 and later will depend on ADVA FSP 3000 in order to expand its network. The expansion work has been funded by the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) amounting to $134 million.
ADVA’s reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) offers versatility to NoaNet to accommodate customers into the expanding network, which is intended to increase to over 3,000 miles in the following three years. The FSP 3000 optical transport solution will allow NoaNet to provide access to high-speed, reliable internet for individuals, government agencies, businesses, hospitals, emergency responders, libraries, and schools in almost all areas of Washington that are inhabited.
John Scherzinger, ADVA’s Senior Director of Sales of the North American region stated that this network connects colleges and schools by changing the tools for online learning and collaboration. The network also connects hospitals for helping in remote diagnosis and telemedicine applications, he added.
