FSP 150 Continues to Out-Perform the Market with Strong Growth in Mobile
Backhaul



ADVA Optical Networking today
announced that it has increased its share of the global fiber-based
Ethernet
Access Device (EAD) market to 21%. This growth confirms its position
as the
leading provider of EADs for both carrier and enterprise customers. The
figures
are part of the latest report from Infonetics Research and underline
ADVA
Optical Networking's strong performance, highlighting growing demand for
mobile
backhaul solutions as a key contributor to its growth. The biannual
report
expects EAD revenues to reach USD 1.3 billion by 2016.





"The EAD market is one of the most competitive in the industry and one
where we
continue to dominate," said Stephan Rettenberger, vice president,
marketing at
ADVA Optical Networking. "For the sixth year, Infonetics Research has
listed us
as the clear leader in this space. This reflects our continued drive to
deliver
the products our customers need. We're continually listening,
continually
evolving and this is reflected in our strong EAD roadmap. Looking into
2013,
there's a clear focus on mobile backhaul and driving new revenue potential
as we
continue to migrate to LTE."



ADVA Optical Networking's FSP 150 family of EADs delivers Ethernet
demarcation,
extension and aggregation to support the profitable delivery of
differentiated,
intelligent Ethernet services. Featuring fast failure detection,
protection and
advanced multi-vendor interoperability the FSP 150 includes
Etherjack™
technology that enables advanced operations, administration and
maintenance
(OAM) capabilities. The product family also incorporates innovative
Syncjack™
technology, which provides highly accurate timing distribution and
assurance in
mobile backhaul networks. Syncjack™ enables seamless migration from 3G
to 4G
radio access and eliminates the risk of service disruptions and impaired
cell
hand-offs.



Infonetics expects EAD revenue to reach USD 1.3 billion in 2016, meaning
that
there's significant opportunity for the key vendors in this space,"
commented
Michael Howard, co-founder and principal analyst for carrier
networks at
Infonetics Research. "Of all the applications fueling this growth,
mobile
backhaul presents an enormous opportunity. As a clear leader in the EAD
market,
ADVA Optical Networking has a leading advantage here. Some of ADVA's
latest
product announcements indicate the company's vision and intent to
drive the
market forward."
