CHICAGO--Fujitsu Network Communications announced at Supercomm that it has forged an OEM agreement with BTI Photonics Systems Inc., under which BTI's Netstender edge platform will be integrated into the Fujitsu Flashwave portfolio, where it will become the Flashwave 7120 optical extension system.

The new platform will be submitted to Telcordia OSMINE compliance process. The 7120 provides for extended optical transport over spans that exceed the available fiber capacity or typical reach of metro optics. The platform allows carriers to combine optical layer functions such as multiplexing, amplification, signal conditioning, optical add/drop and performance monitoring in a single, managed solution for metro and regional networks.

Fujitsu also announced at the show that it is adding new features to its Flashwave 4100 Multi-Service Provisioning Platform. Release 4.1 of the platform supports Sonet, resilient packet ring (RPR), generic framing procedure (GFP), virtual concatenation (VCAT) and link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) capabilities. This allows carriers to offer a wide variety of carrier-class 10 Mb/s to gigabit Ethernet Line (E-Line) and LAN (E-LAN) services with efficient bandwidth provisioning granularity, statistical multiplexing, class-of-service differentiation and transport protection switching. Also, new OC-n line and service interfaces include support for Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) technology, which minimizes sparing requirements and defers capital expenses.
