Syringa Networks connects rural businesses with ADVA FSP 3000

ADVA Optical Networking (FSE: ADV) has notched up another deal for its flagship product, the FSP 3000. Syringa Networks, an Idaho-based regional provider of fiber-optic services, has selected the modular optical transport platform to provide high-speed connectivity to southern Idaho and northern Utah businesses.

Syringa Networks was created in 2002 by 12 rural Idaho telephone companies with a determination to improve telecommunication and rural broadband services in Idaho. The carrier is a longstanding partner of ADVA (see “Syringa Networks boosts bandwidth, cuts costs with ADVA platform”)

“We’re excited to partner with ADVA Optical Networking to offer flexible data transport solutions to Idaho businesses,” said Greg Lowe, president and CEO of Syringa Networks. “Cost-effective access to data-intensive services helps rural communities retain local businesses, attract new companies, and create jobs in their communities.”

“This network means much more than just reliability, availability and increased bandwidth,” said John Scherzinger, ADVA’s senior vice president of sales in North America. “With always-on access to high-bandwidth applications, this network will have an enormous impact on businesses. Telemedicine, distance learning, and video conferencing are just the beginning. This connectivity will expand economic capacity and commerce throughout southern Idaho.”

By using the modular FSP 3000 as the cornerstone of its infrastructure, Syringa Networks says it is able to scale to meet any network demand, whether from private enterprise customers or the public sector.
