ADVA adds encryption to FSP 150 demarcation device
ADVA (FSE: ADV) has developed a version of its FSP 150 demarcation devices with encryption capabilities. The FSP 150-XG118Pro (CSH) offers programmable demarcation and edge compute capabilities, supports 10-Gbps MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet and IP services, provides synchronization capabilities, and now features MACsec hardware-based encryption. It also is ready to run post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms, ADVA adds.
The addition of encryption provides protection to data that may have to traverse untrusted public networks and enables communication service providers to offer fully encrypted bandwidth services. It offers data encryption compliant with what James Buchanan, general manager, Edge Cloud at ADVA, describes as, “the strictest standards in the industry, including FIPS 140-3.” The FSP 150-XG118Pro (CSH) also features precise clock technology based on Synchronous Ethernet and hardware processing of IEEE 1588 timestamps. The platform is based on an open architecture that supports ADVA’s Ensemble Connector and other virtual network function options.
“Our FSP 150-XG118Pro (CSH) supports a smooth and simple transition from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps services while meeting the very highest security requirements. Now there’s a simple and affordable way to achieve the safe and assured connectivity that businesses need for peace of mind and compliance with stringent regulations. The solutions also enables CSPs to roll out tailored encryption-as-a-service offerings,” commented Eli Angel, vice president, product line management, ADVA. “Our FSP 150-XG118Pro (CSH) shares the same security framework as our optical products. Its cryptographic techniques, including dynamic key exchange and hardware tamper protection, ensure the safety of the most sensitive data. And, like our FSP 3000, it’s ready to support quantum-safe key exchange via a simple software upgrade.”
