A DVA Optical Networking announced
its ADVA FSP 150 has played a key
role in DataNet Africa’s MEF CE 2.0
E-Access certification.
The accreditation makes DataNet Africa the
first operator in the region to provide wholesale
MEF-certified Ethernet access circuits. The
network is built on the ADVA FSP 150, an intel-
ligent Ethernet access solution.
DataNet Africa selected the product family
for its ability to deliver ubiquitous Ethernet
services and proven carrier-class performance.
ADVA Optical Networking’s technology also
enables DataNet Africa to prepare for applications
based on software-defined networking (SDN)
and network functions virtualization (NFV),
which will help East African businesses to
further streamline operational costs and pursue
new revenue streams.
“Many businesses in this part of the world
are at a crucial stage in their development. To
achieve their potential, they need more than basic
internet access over point-to-point private lines or
local loops. What the East African market requires
is assured, cost-effective data transport,” said
Ishkhan Martirosyan, CTO, DataNet Africa.
“We’re proud to be the first wholesale
provider in the region to deliver a MEF CE 2.0
E-Access-certified networking platform,” Martiro-
syan said. “With next-generation connectivity
services, businesses in East Africa will now have
a significant competitive edge. What’s more,
our infrastructure will soon be ready for applica-
tions powered by SDN and NFV. Our customers
will then be able to further reduce costs while
increasing agility and speed when it comes to
deploying new services.”
DataNet Africa’s certified Ethernet access
circuits, interconnect links and external network-
to-network interfaces will provide a major boost
for regional and international service providers
looking to expand in East Africa.
The MEF-compliant transport solution also
will deliver assured and secure carrier Ethernet
services for organizations in all sectors from
healthcare to finance to government.
DataNet Africa’s next stage of development
will be utilizing the edge virtualization capabili-
ties of the ADVA FSP 150 product range, which
will enable it to offer advanced SDN and NFV
applications to the East African market.
“East Africa is brimming with potential, and
businesses in the region have a huge amount
of drive and creativity. DataNet Africa can now
provide them with the world-class, end-to-end
connectivity they need to progress to the next
level,” said Günter Landers, sales director,
Africa, ADVA Optical Networking.
“Securing MEF CE 2.0 certification means that
DataNet Africa’s network has achieved the gold
standard for connectivity services,” Landers added.
“It’s a guarantee for carriers and businesses that
they can rely on the highest possible industry stan-
dards. Our FSP 150 technology provides carrier-
class assurance, enabling DataNet Africa’s service
provider customers the opportunity to offer profit-
able and differentiated Ethernet services.” p
