About ADVA Optical Networking

At ADVA Optical Networking, we are creating tomorrow.

A little more than ten years ago, ADVA Optical Networking was a small technology start-up in Munich, Germany. Today, we are a global market leader in metro optical networking and number one in Europe. We did it by understanding where the market is headed, recognizing and adapting to customer needs and always finding a way to deliver a smarter, faster solution.It’s an effective philosophy - if you have the people who can execute it.

Every day, our engineers work to advance the network, to discover more innovative and cost-effective ways to solve the problems our customers face today. And the ones they’ll face tomorrow.

At the same time, close customer contact and a clear understanding of the metro market allow us to provide real solutions for real-world challenges faced by enterprises and carriers alike. We combine technological expertise with adaptability, flexibility and an intense focus on our customers, helping them stay ahead of the pack as new trends develop.

AS DATA VOLUMES INCREASE, MANY FIBER NETWORKS HAVE ALREADY REACHED OPERATIONAL LIMITS WITH EXISTING TECHNOLOGY.

Optical+Ethernet innovation enables ADVA Optical Networking to advance the transformation to packet-oriented optical networking and increase the efficiency of existing network infrastructure. Our scalable Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology provides more capacity, higher speeds, longer reach and a greater utilization of optical networks. As a result, networks become more manageable, operate more efficiently and possess considerably higher bandwidth for high-volume data transmission.

While Optical+Ethernet innovation is critical, we believe a passionate focus on our customers and speed are just as important. They are a part of our culture, our processes and everything we do. It’s simple, really. To succeed, we know we have to do everything faster, better and more efficiently than the competition. By combining technological expertise and flexibility, our customers benefit from extremely short development times and the introduction of many new features and services throughout the product life cycle. So they get to market faster with a highly effective solution, optimized for their specific problem set. A close working relationship with our customers allows us to integrate their specific requirements directly into new products and features. Our team actively helps customers plan and build their networks from the ground up. Later, we provide the necessary professional technical support and maintenance of those application-critical networks

As we look ahead, we see a future limited only by the scope of human imagination.

And we will be there – creating faster, better and more cost-effective ways to move information and ideas. At ADVA Optical Networking, we are always moving forward, advancing the way the world connects and helping our customers create tomorrow.
