With demand this fierce we knew that the only way forward was to harness 100G capabilities," said Tarko Tikan, chief network and infrastructure architect, Telia Eesti. "When we began the process of selecting the ideal 100G core technology it quickly became clear that the ADVA FSP 3000 was the perfect fit. Operational simplicity was a crucial differentiator and ADVA Optical Networking's turn-key system proved to be brilliantly simple to install, maintain and manage. Having direct access to their very responsive technical team at every stage has also helped to make the whole experience a smooth and happy one."
Telia Eesti's meshed 19-node infrastructure features 100Gbit/s coherent capabilities for improved operations and increased service agility. For enhanced performance, the ADVA FSP 3000 network utilizes coherent detection technology, which is optimized for long-haul backbone networks where reach, fiber-impairment tolerance and flexibility are key. The solution features four multi-degree ROADM nodes that are being used to create remote cross-connections on the optical layer, improving service availability and simplifying operations. With the modular architecture of the ADVA FSP 3000, Telia Eesti's new 100Gbit/s network is fully scalable so that further growth can be easily accommodated, and it's also ready for future deployment of optical layer encryption.
