The i3D.net specific configuration of the ADVA FSP 3000 TeraFlex ™ is capable of transporting up to 400 Gbit / s of data per wavelength and 800 Gbit / s per sled. This open and ultra-flexible 1RU terminal uses software-defined fractional QAM modulation and adaptive baud rate capabilities. In addition to dramatically increasing the capacity of i3D.net’s global infrastructure, the ADVA FSP 3000 TeraFlex ™ ensures the lowest cost per bit for each fiber path. In addition, it offers advanced streaming telemetry. This provides operators with real-time performance data, helping them to ensure the highest levels of availability and quality of service for end users. The new solution also includes other components of ADVA’s FSP 3000 open optical transport solution, including the FSP 3000 QuadFlex ™ optical terminals.

“Our FSP 3000 TeraFlex ™ will be an essential tool for i3D.net. It will be essential to seize new opportunities during the global gaming boom and deliver unprecedented levels of quality to its customers. The innovative terminal offers excellent space and energy efficiency while maximizing fiber usage. With its flexible bandwidth modulation, it ensures optimal performance even on long distance links. That’s why our high performance TeraFlex ™ is ideal for supporting immersive and satisfying gaming, ”commented Hartmut Müller-Leitloff, SVP, Sales, EMEA, ADVA. “It’s great to see another major operator leveraging our TeraFlex ™ technology to unlock additional value in their infrastructure. Spread over six continents, the i3D.net network will now offer even more to its customers.
