ADVA Optical Networking expands technology for metro networking

German hardware and software specialist ADVA Optical Networking has expanded its FSP 3000 platform to cover metro networks and provide metro operators with high levels of flexibility, scale and synchronisation. The ADVA FSP 3000 is said to provide a flexible and automated optical layer without the cost of a traditional reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer and features a cross-connect that enables users to scale optical transport networks (OTNs) without any capacity lock-in. To deliver the necessary

German hardware and software specialist ADVA Optical Networking has expanded its FSP 3000 platform to cover metro networks and provide metro operators with high levels of flexibility, scale and synchronisation.

The ADVA FSP 3000 is said to provide a flexible and automated optical layer without the cost of a traditional reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer and features a cross-connect that enables users to scale optical transport networks (OTNs) without any capacity lock-in. To deliver the necessary time synchronizations for 5G, ADVA FSP 3000 TrueTime uses time-sensitive technologies for the highest performance and automatically compensates delay asymmetries.

    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe

    AAdvances in LiDAR are helping transport authorities improve services and identify potential problem areas, as geospatial technology expert Dr Neil Slatcher explains. The effects of climate change on the transport infrastructure have long been a cause of concern within the transportation sector - and not only on the structures themselves but also on the surrounding areas. This year, those concerns have become reality with landslides, structural collapses and surfacing issues impacting services across the wo

    Public transit agencies create a lot of data – but using it constructively to solve transportation issues has been a problem. Ben Winokur and Luke Segars think they have the answer: greater openness. Today, more people are connected through smartphones than ever before - and they’re using them for more than texting and calling. People are searching for jobs on their devices, dating, shopping and even managing their finances. But Forbes reports that only a select few companies leverage all the technology at
