Adtran Unveils Terabit-Class Edge Routers with 400G Interfaces and Integrated Optics
Adtran has launched Terabit-class edge routers in its FSP 150 and SDX 8000 series, offering 400Gbit/s interfaces and integrated optics for high-density aggregation without increased space or power use. These compact, energy-efficient routers simplify deployments, reduce hardware sprawl and support automation across edge and optical transport networks.
1. New Terabit-Scale Edge Routers
Adtran introduced Terabit-class edge routers based on the FSP 150 and SDX 8000 series, delivering 400Gbit/s interfaces for high-density edge and regional aggregation. The SDX 8230 and FSP 150-XG490 are optimized for cabinet installations and high-density environments without core-router scale penalties.
2. Compact, Energy-Efficient Design
These routers pack up to 400Gbit/s capacity in compact, cabinet-ready form factors, integrating optional coherent optics to extend reach. The designs eliminate the need for oversized platforms, reducing space, power and operational hardware requirements.
3. Unified Software and Automation
Powered by a common network operating system, the new devices support automated provisioning and consistent management across edge and optical transport. Operators gain simplified deployment, reduced inventory sprawl and streamlined operations through integrated orchestration tools.
4. Market Impact and Operator Benefits
By combining 400G aggregation, optical integration and unified control, Adtran’s solution enables service providers to scale edge networks cost-effectively. The offering targets fiber access, aggregation and mobile backhaul segments, addressing rising bandwidth demands with a future-ready architecture.
