The Northwest Open Access Network (NoaNet) has selected the ADVA FSP 3000 to enable the extension of high-speed broadband service to nearly every underserved area of Washington state.
NoaNet first deployed ADVA Optical Networking’s platform in 2005 and will again rely on the FSP 3000 as it undertakes a network expansion funded in part by an $134-million Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) federal stimulus grant. ADVA Optical Networking’s multi-degree reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) affords NoaNet the flexibility to dynamically bring customers onto the network, which is planned to extend to more than 3,000 miles over the next three years. The FSP 3000 will help NoaNet deliver reliable, high-speed Internet access to schools, libraries, emergency responders, hospitals, government agencies, businesses and individuals in virtually every inhabited location of Washington. http://www.advaoptical.com
