Facebook-Designed Open Optical Packet Transport System Rapidly Moves From
Concept to Commercial Testing
Munich, Germany. February 27, 2017. ADVA Optical Networking announced today that
it is working with nine customers on trials of the Facebook-designed Voyager
solution. A mixture of Tier 1 service providers and large enterprises are using
the open optical packet transport system in a range of proof of concept (POC)
installations. In less than nine months, ADVA Optical Networking has helped to
drive the Voyager solution through the Telecom Infra Project's (TIP's) Open
Optical Packet Transport project group and into commercial testing. ADVA Optical
Networking was the first vendor to publicly commit to commercial support of the
open 1RU DWDM device and this commitment has now grown to include integration of
Voyager into the ADVA FSP Network Manager and the development of a complete
portfolio of supporting services.
"The two founding principles of the Voyager and Open Optical Packet Transport
projects are openness and innovation and it's these principles that have guided
everything that our team has developed here," said Niall Robinson, VP, global
business development, ADVA Optical Networking. "Now that the Voyager system is
complete, we're focusing much of our time on further developing our services to
ensure that customers have a turn-key solution. That's why these POCs are so
important. We're able to see firsthand what resonates. Which services do the
customers like? Which services do they need to see more of? Which services are
truly critical? And what's fascinating here is the breadth of applications these
POCs cover. The lessons learnt from the next few months will be key as we move
from trials to commercialization."
ADVA Optical Networking's nine POCs show the real commercial interest in the
Voyager system and the industry's desire for packet optical solutions. Since its
inception last May, the device itself has matured rapidly from blueprint to
physical product. The 1RU DWDM unit features 12 x 100Gbit/s QSFP 28 clients and
4 x 200Gbit/s 16QAM on the line side. In addition to the hardware, ADVA Optical
Networking has also spent the past nine months developing its FSP Network
Manager to ensure that it can be used with plug-and-play simplicity. What's
more, the company has also further refined its service offerings to develop à la
carte packages that fit customers' exacting needs. This means that every Voyager
customer can specifically tailor their experience to match their demands.
"We're excited by the progress we've made with Voyager by working with partners
like ADVA Optical Networking. What was only an idea less than a year ago is now
almost commercially ready for deployment," said Hans-Juergen Schmidtke, co-
chair, Open Optical Packet Transport project group, TIP, and director,
engineering, Facebook. "We're looking forward to collaborating with our partners
to build the open optical packet transport solutions with Voyager into a
complete package that will enable service providers and enterprises to deploy an
open networking solution that delivers rapid results and enables continuous
innovation."
