UK carrier Kingston Communications now deploying infrastructure with FSP 2000 from ADVA Optical Networking - International - Brief Article

ADVA Optical Networking announced that UK carrier Kingston Communications has expanded deployments from AD VA's Fiber Service Platform (FSP) 500 systems to now include the FSP 2000.

Kingston has deployed more than one hundred FSP 500 systems since 1999 through the continued expansion of its national telecommunications network in the United Kingdom. The carrier found its niche in the market by targeting small- to medium-sized enterprises with ADVA's FSP 500 for inexpensive managed services. Initial deployments of 10/100 Ethernet connections evolved into Gigabit Ethernet and now STM-4 services. Kingston has established to-date twenty-five metro regional fiber networks and its own long distance fiber network with DWDM technology.

ADVA's FSP 2000 is currently being deployed at specific points in Kingston's network infrastructure to relieve fiber exhaustion and address mismatched fiber problems. ADVA's FSP 2000 employs parallel use of Coarse/Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (C/DWDM) and TDM technology and enables up to 512 applications to be transported over one single fiber pair up to 200 kilometers. Its robust character and ability to transport all protocols between 8Mbit/s and l0Gbit/s make the FSP 2000 an ideal solution particularly for large-scale, high-bandwidth storage networks. ADVA's FSP 500 is a managed fiber access and CWDM solution specifically designed as a very cost-effective system for delivering high-speed data, storage, and voice applications. It supports service speeds ranging from 2Mbit/s to 2.5Gbit/s over distances of up to 70 kilometers on singlemode fiber.
