“Adtran continues to lead the way in promoting open, disaggregated networking. By integrating our FSP 3000 OLS with 100ZR and 400Gbit/s OpenZR+ transceivers from a wide range of vendors, including our coherent 100ZR QSFP28, we’re offering operators a cost-effective, low-power solution to enhance their data center interconnect (DCI) networks and cloud infrastructure. With its standards-compliant design, our coherent 100ZR facilitates multi-vendor interoperability for 100Gbit/s transmission up to 300km over any open line system, while the FSP 3000 OLS streamlines operations and ensures flexible, scalable transport with optimal performance,” said Christoph Glingener, CTO of Adtran. “This collaboration with the OIF and other major industry players demonstrates our commitment to providing open solutions that meet the evolving demands of the cloud and the optical edge.”

The joint solution on display showcases exceptional optical performance, with the Adtran FSP 3000 OLS ensuring streamlined setup and precise operation. Equipped with integrated monitoring and diagnostic functions, as well as a high level of automation, the FSP 3000 OLS simplifies management and optimizes transmission performance. The collaboration with industry leaders highlights Adtran’s commitment to open optical networking solutions and demonstrates how its technology is built to industry standards. This approach offers the flexibility and scalability needed to meet diverse customer requirements while advancing multi-vendor interoperability.

“For decades, we’ve been pioneers in the DCI space, enabling enterprises and cloud providers to build high-capacity, high-performance networks. Our solutions are built around an open environment, promoting innovation and seamless interoperability with other vendors. We’re proud to be at the heart of this large-scale demonstration, where our Coherent 100ZR and FSP 3000 OLS are driving the adoption of open, multi-vendor interoperability for data center applications,” commented Stephan Neidlinger, VP of global business development at Adtran. “By championing openness and collaboration across the industry, we’re advancing high-performance networking and reaffirming our leadership in delivering the technologies that will shape the future of optical networking.”
