LONDON and MUNICH -- ADVA Optical Networking today announced that Exponential-e, the U.K.’s leading provider of bespoke Ethernet solutions to the corporate market, is deploying products from the ADVA FSP 150 family into its next-generation network. Featuring ADVA Etherjack® technology, this provides Exponential-e with the Ethernet demarcation required for advanced end-to-end service monitoring and remote Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM).

With 84 U.K. Points of Presence (PoP), 11 of which are situated in London, Exponential-e manages one of the U.K.’s largest PureEthernet™ networks. Its transatlantic connection extends this network to the USA, and global reach is provided through strategic agreements with like-minded network providers. This reach enables Exponential-e to offer tailor-made connectivity solutions on a world-wide scale, including converged access to a range of business services, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Internet, managed storage, video surveillance and colocation.

Adrian Hobbins, Exponential-e’s CTO, commented, “ADVA Optical Networking is helping us to extend the benefits that we already deliver in our core network into the customer premise. Their Etherjack technology allows us to reduce complexity, actively monitor the last mile, diagnose and resolve issues without any loss of service and ensure our customers are focused on the success of their business rather than the status of their network.”
