ADVA Optical Networking SE was a Germany-based telecommunications equipment company that developed networking infrastructure for communications service providers, enterprises, data centers and government organizations. Its portfolio focused on technologies used to transport, aggregate and manage voice, data and other digital traffic across telecommunications networks.
The company’s products included optical transport systems, Ethernet access equipment, packet networking platforms, network synchronization solutions and software for network management. ADVA also offered connectivity and infrastructure solutions designed to support cloud services, mobile networks, data-center interconnection and business communications.
Founded in 1994, ADVA served customers internationally through operations and sales channels covering Europe, North America, Asia and other global markets. The company was headquartered in Germany and was historically led by co-founder Brian Protiva, followed by Christoph Glingener as chief executive officer.
In 2022, ADTRAN completed its acquisition of ADVA Optical Networking, combining the companies’ portfolios and operations. ADVA’s former optical and networking technologies now form part of the broader ADTRAN business, and ADVA is no longer an independent publicly traded operating company.
