ADVA AG Optical Networking Announces Launch of FSP 150SP

ADVA AG Optical Networking announced that on October 30, 2012, it launched the FSP 150SP, a sync probe device that simplifies the deployment and maintenance of 4G mobile networks. Featuring a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) clock probe that simultaneously supports Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588v2, and a built-in GPS receiver, the FSP 150SP provides time synchronization and assurance across multi-vendor mobile backhaul infrastructures. This capability enables backhaul service providers to offer synchronization as a service. The FSP 150SP forms an integral part of the FSP 150 family, an Ethernet access, backhaul and aggregation solution supporting Syncjack timing distribution and assurance. The new family member brings Syncjack technology to every node in a network, ensuring end-to-end management, monitoring and testing. Whether a greenfield installation, or an older Carrier Ethernet network, all can be instantly upgraded to enable new revenue from delivery of SLA-based synchronization services with both PTP and SyncE network monitoring and performance analysis.
