SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 10, 2017--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced at the CommsDay
Summit 2017 that Vocus Communications is deploying a range of its
next generation access technologies including ADTRAN’s XGS-PON and
Mosaic architecture. The deployment, which is in its final stages of
preparedness, will further enable high utilization of Vocus’ extensive
metro fiber network whilst enabling 10Gbits/s symmetrical business grade
capacity. Vocus has built a world-class telecommunications
infrastructure platform across Australia that maximizes network
investment, streamlines operational costs and offers the flexible price
points needed for supplying business and backhaul services as well as
residential applications.
Vocus will be utilizing ADTRAN’s Multi Service Access Nodes, 10G Optical
Line Termination (OLT) equipment and 10G Optical Network Termination
(ONT) units to build out the 10G PON deployment. Additionally, Vocus
will be using the ADTRAN Mosaic Cloud Platform as an open microservices
architecture providing network management and SDN control for the 10Gbps
services access network. ADTRAN Mosaic unlocks control and management
functions from the underlying network elements, enabling a more
flexible, agile services delivery framework.
“Supplying service providers with technology such as XGS-PON gives them
a symmetrical, high bandwidth solution. The increased upstream bandwidth
will be necessary to support the continued migration of Enterprise
applications and storage to the cloud, as well as rising consumer trends
such as live streaming,” said Greg Hankinson, regional vice president
for ADTRAN. “As the industry continues to trend towards open,
programmable and scalable architectures, ADTRAN is working with service
providers like Vocus to meet these trends head on. ADTRAN is committed
to delivering services like XGS-PON that allow today’s service providers
to evolve and move their networks forward.”
