OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu, a leading provider of business, information technology, and communications solutions, today announced that they continue to strengthen and diversify their suite of Ethernet platforms with the addition of Fujitsu's FLASHWAVE(r) 5310 and FLASHWAVE 5320 Ethernet Services Platforms. The FLASHWAVE 5310 and 5320 platforms are designed to meet the growing demand for low-cost delivery of Ethernet Private Line (EPL), Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) and Ethernet LAN-based services for business and mobile backhaul applications.

The Fujitsu Ethernet Services Platforms are engineered to deliver an affordable and seamless path for high performance, standards-based Carrier Ethernet service into metro, enterprise and mobile networks. With the addition of the FLASHWAVE 5310 and 5320 products to the Ethernet Portfolio, Fujitsu is addressing the growing demand for Ethernet driven bandwidth.

Fujitsu's FLASHWAVE 5310 platform offers an integrated, flexible combination of Ethernet and TDM services. This platform is ideal for combining Ethernet services, leased-line replacement and 2G/3G mobile backhaul services. It features integrated support for both Ethernet and TDM via emulation of T1/E1 and SONET/SDH channelized OC-3/STM-1 circuits. The FLASHWAVE 5310 product provides Ethernet service scalability from 1Mbps to 1Gbps, and 1-16 T1-E1s. This compact, low power, temperature-resilient platform is ready for tower or customer premise deployment.

The FLASHWAVE 5320 platform delivers Carrier Ethernet aggregation through the access network directly to customer premises, making it the ideal solution for enabling cost effective extension of Ethernet, IP and cloud services to metro areas such as business parks, multi-tenant buildings, cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots. The FLASHWAVE 5320 product provides 24xSFP and 2xXFP ports with MEF-standards based Carrier Ethernet service scalability from 1MBps to 10Gbps with highly reliable service delivery and G.8032 sub 50ms ring protection.

Both the FLASHWAVE 5310 and 5320 platforms are supported with service-level provisioning, monitoring and management provided by the full-featured network software management system, NETSMART(r) 1200. The platforms also feature dedicated hardware for traffic performance monitoring, enabling today's requirement for hardware-based Y.1731 latency, jitter and frame-loss ratio measurements.
