BT Awards 3-Year Contract to ADVA for Optical LAN Extensions

ADVA Optical Networking was awarded an additional three-year contract from BT for its Fiber Service Platform (FSP) 500 systems. This adds to a previous four-year deal, during which time BT standardized the FSP 500 as its multi-protocol platform for deployment of all LAN extension services. ADVA’s FSP 500 supports managed circuits and provides fiber extension for protocols including STM-1, STM-4, Fibre Channel, and 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet, and at speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. The platform recently added 8-channel CWDM capabilities. ADVA said its FSP 500 has enabled BT to sell more than 10,000 short-haul data circuits into approximately 1,600 enterprises in the U.K. over the past four years. Financial terms were not disclosed.
