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.

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.

    Asfinag’s Manfred Harrer and Peter Meckel talk to Jason Barnes about the organisation’s first steps towards C-ITS deployments - and why ITS-G5 will be the underpinning standard For quite a number of years, it was assumed that the connectivity required for cooperative ITS (C-ITS) applications and autonomous vehicle (AV) operations would be catered for by a bespoke communications solution/protocol. This would provide localised ad hoc communication in a manner similar to Wi-Fi, and the dedicated bandwidth/n

    Software developed by researchers from the University of Minnesota for the Smart (Systematic Monitoring of Arterial Road and Traffic Signals) signal system automatically collects and processes data from traffic signal controllers at multiple intersections. It then creates performance measures, including information on the times and locations congestion occurs on a roadway. A new version of the software has been deployed at more than fifty intersections managed by the Minnesota Department of Transportatio

    The Finnish Meteorological Institute is currently testing two-way delivery of local weather data as Timo Sukuvaara explains. Road weather information is one of the key ways in which ITS can help reduce traffic accidents and fatalities – which is why the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has long provided road weather services. Now, the CoMoSeF (Cooperative Mobility Services of the Future) project has been developing communication methodologies to deliver road weather services directly to vehicles and g
