ADVA Optical Networking SE and Hrvatska Elektroprivreda (HEP Group), announced the country's first deployment of 100G technology. The two companies - in collaboration with their ITeRATIO - conducted a successful 100G deployment over a distance of more than 400km between the Croatian cities of Zagreb and Split. This success highlights the government's commitment to developing the country's network infrastructure and will significantly boost HEP's network capacity and performance.

The successful deployment, using BERT, RFC 2544 and EXFO FTB-500 testing measurements, demonstrates how the ADVA FSP 3000 can be deployed to support speeds of 100G through a simple, quick and cost-effective upgrade to the existing optical network infrastructure. The solution allows for the increase of network capacity while driving down the cost per bit of transmitted data.
