06 November 2018

ADVA (FSE: ADV) today announced that Eurofiber is deploying the ADVA FSP 150 as the foundation of its new flexible business services. The intelligent, multi-layer demarcation and aggregation technology enables Eurofiber to respond to rapidly growing demand from enterprises across the Netherlands and Belgium for high-bandwidth, cost-effective SLA-based Carrier Ethernet connectivity. Deployed at the customer premises, the ADVA FSP 150 provides a single platform for MEF-certified Layer 2 and 3 services and easily scales from 1GbE to 10GbE. With zero touch provisioning, the device is simple to deploy and its comprehensive assurance services offer unparalleled support for SLA management. ADVA’s partner Netways Europe also provided valuable support with the new solution.

“What makes the ADVA FSP 150 such an effective CPE solution is its phenomenal flexibility and scale. It empowers us to give our customers a genuinely future-proof architecture ready to expand alongside the growing needs of their business,” said Hessel Idzenga, manager, design and architecture, Eurofiber. “The new technology is compact and highly efficient in terms of space and energy consumption. With its automated deployment capabilities, the ADVA FSP 150 is a powerful tool for accelerating new service activation while at the same time driving down operational costs. It also integrates seamlessly with our existing management system. Just as vital, though, is the strong relationships involved. We know from past experience that the ADVA and Netways Europe teams offer superb levels of expertise and support, and share our passion to exceed customer expectations.”
