Openreach has adopted Adtran’s FSP 3000 open optical transport technology to launch the new Optical Spectrum Access 100G Single enterprise service.

The solution offers a dedicated fibre link that allows more UK businesses to access point-to-point 100Gbit/s data transport, meeting the surging demand for high-bandwidth services.
