Scalable, Open Optical Line System Key to State-of-the-Art Multi-Vendor
Transport Solution
Stockholm, Sweden. April 25, 2017. ADVA Optical Networking announced today that
the Swedish University Network (SUNET) has deployed its 100Gbit/s core
technology in a new nationwide optical transport network. The research and
education infrastructure, which stretches 8,000km across Sweden and into Norway,
will deliver coherent ultra-high bandwidth connectivity to over 100
organizations. The new system features ADVA Optical Networking's ROADM
technology, ensuring SUNET can rapidly respond to growing demand for new
services and bandwidth at the touch of a button. The ADVA FSP 3000 provides an
open optical line system (OOLS), which works seamlessly with the tunable DWDM
router interfaces provided by Juniper Networks' MX2000 Universal Edge Routers.
The converged multi-vendor solution provides ultimate efficiency, extremely
low latency and total scalability for future growth. It was installed by
solutions integrator and ADVA Optical Networking partner NetNordic.
"Our work with SUNET is helping to empower the research and education community.
This new all-coherent optical network removes limitations and provides the tools
that academic institutions need to operate at the cutting edge of discovery,"
said Lars Glarborg, MD, NetNordic Communication AB. "Through close cooperation
with our key technology partners Juniper Networks and ADVA Optical Networking,
we've created one of the most powerful networks in Sweden. The new
infrastructure delivers enhanced security. It also greatly improves redundancy
so that SUNET's users have a phenomenally low risk of downtime and data loss.
Now that the system is up and running, every organization served has access to
100Gbit/s. And, with the network's innate scalability, further upgrades will be
simple. Sweden's universities and research institutions could require terabit
speeds in the near future and SUNET is ready to deliver."
The deployment represents a 10-fold increase in the capacity of SUNET's
transport infrastructure, which serves national museums, scientific
institutions, government agencies and 35 Swedish universities. The newly
installed ROADM system transforms the network into a flexible meshed network
topology. Links between all sites can be configured instantly through adding and
dropping wavelengths on multiple fibers. This improves availability and,
combined with ADVA Optical Networking's Raman amplifier technology,
significantly reduces latency. The small footprint and low power consumption of
the ADVA FSP 3000 has been optimized using tunable interfaces on Juniper
Networks' MX2000 routers. The converged packet transport solution, built on ADVA
Optical Networking's OOLS, is also SUNET's first step towards software-defined
networking (SDN), which will further increase transport efficiency and enable
new applications in the future.
"100Gbit/s has become a must-have for research and education networks. From
experiments in particle physics to multi-media projects, universities now
regularly use high-bandwidth application for easier collaboration and faster
discovery. And, with our ROADM technology, SUNET is in full control of its
network. It now has a versatile, scalable transport system perfect for today's
requirements and ready for the demands of tomorrow," commented Peter Atterlöf,
sales director, Nordics and Baltics, ADVA Optical Networking. "Key to the
success of this deployment was the flexibility and interoperability of our
platform. Our open technology makes it simple to implement, install and manage a
best-of-breed disaggregated architecture like this. What's more, to take the new
transport system to the next level, SUNET is now exploring plans to introduce
our FSP Network Hypervisor. This will create a programmable SDN-based network
for automation, rapid service provisioning and even better use of resources."
