For Information
This briefing is for all Communications Providers (CPs).
This briefing is to inform CPs about price changes to OSA and OSEA products, and some product withdrawals.
Openreach is announcing changes to OSA and OSEA pricing for 2025/26.
Price changes and product withdrawals will take effect from 01/04/2025.
This briefing supports ACCN OR973.
Optical Spectrum Access (OSA)
Openreach is announcing the withdrawal from new supply of the following Optical Spectrum Access (OSA) FS3000 optical filter products due to discontinued vendor supply. Alternative filter options are available.
As a result of the withdrawal of the above filters and a desire to further rationalise our legacy OSA product portfolio, the following OSA FSP3000 non-Filter Connect bearer options will also be withdrawn from new supply.
OSA FSP3000 Filter Connect bearers will continue to be available for new supply using the remaining optical filter options.
Following the recent announcement of the OSA FSP3000 1U E-temp active chassis (briefing ETH025/24 refers), the OSA FSP3000 1U High Power Chassis (AC Power) will be withdrawn from new supply for all OSA variants as this will no longer be required as an uplift option.
Optical Spectrum Extended Access (OSEA)
A simplified price list layout for the Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM) option for OSEA Lite and OSEA 6500 Filter Connect is notified.
Openreach is announcing the withdrawal from new supply of the option to select 10Gb DWDM longer reach network optics (with FEC) for OSEA Lite due to discontinued vendor supply.
