NXTcomm: Verizon Picks Fujitsu FLASHWAVE 9500 for Metro Transport

Verizon selected the Fujitsu  FLASHWAVE 9500 platform to enhance its U.S.-based metro transport infrastructure.

It will support and consolidate SONET, Ethernet, and wavelength services traffic in a variety of applications. In the FiOS network this infrastructure will facilitate deployment of packet-based services for Verizon customers, including high-definition video on demand, higher-speed Internet access, and advanced voice services.

The FLASHWAVE 9500 Packet ONP provides the modular integration of Ethernet, ROADM, and SONET transport technologies into a single addressable optical networking element. The platform’s pluggable ROADM option and patent-pending universal switch fabric allow both circuit-based traffic and packet-based traffic to be transported in its native format to create a universal optical infrastructure.
