Expanded 10G Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) portfolio enables Gigabit
Society
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), the leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced the addition of the ADTRAN SDX
621X—a 10G
PON residential optical network terminal (ONT)—to its portfolio of
next-generation 10G PON business ONTs. The expanded FTTP solution set
allows carriers to provide multi-gigabit services for everyone,
everywhere and maximize existing optical distribution networks to save
time and costs.

The new ADTRAN SDX
621X ONT supports symmetrical 10G PON technologies and uses a
flexible optics approach that enables service providers to support
existing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) subscribers, while also simultaneously
supporting higher-bandwidth business and 4G/5G “anyhaul” services over a
single, common network.
The ADTRAN Total Access 5000 fiber broadband platform combines
integrated packet optical transport, 100G switching, combined with PON
redundant multi-gigabit FTTP broadband service delivery to allow
operators of all sizes to customize their network and introduce
next-generation fiber technologies. The addition of the ADTRAN 621X
residential subscriber end-point to this industry-leading platform
further extends ADTRAN’s 10G PON leadership for service providers of all
types and opens the door to mass market 10G PON deployment.
“The original use cases for 10G PON focused on multi-gigabit enterprise
and infrastructure backhaul services, given the high costs of 10G PON
ONT optics,” Ovum Principal Analyst Julie Kunstler said. “Technical
innovation, as seen within the ADTRAN 10G PON solution, along with
economies of scale spurred by 10G deployments globally, are driving down
the cost difference between GPON and 10G. Consequently, 10G PON is now a
viable option for residential subscriber deployments, and operators
understand the competitive and future-proofing benefits of moving to
10G.”
The ADTRAN SDX
621X ONT offers a compelling multi-gigabit, symmetric alternative to
single gigabit capable GPON, EPON, Gfast and DOCSIS 3.1 services being
deployed today and is supported by the ADTRAN Mosaic Subscriber
Experience suite, allowing service providers to monetize
the subscriber edge while improving customer loyalty and operation
efficiency.
Emerging high-bandwidth applications like high-resolution 360º video,
autonomous vehicles and fully-immersive applications are set to consume
the capacity levels supported by today’s 1G PON broadband connections
(GPON and EPON). 10G FTTP architectures extend the life and
profitability of a PON network infrastructure. Fixed wavelength,
symmetric 10G PON technologies now offer compelling economics for global
mass-market fiber deployments, and service providers with even greater
capacity needs are already choosing multi-wavelength 10G PON
technologies based on ITU-T NG-PON2
standards. Both 10G PON technologies allow service providers to access
more of the near-unlimited bandwidth of optical fiber than before,
delivering high-end services over a cost-effective PON architecture that
previously required a more expensive point-to-point fiber build.
“The demand for higher capacity fiber access will continue to grow as
new applications enter the market and operators look to increase
efficiency by converging all services onto a common infrastructure,”
ADTRAN Portfolio Director for Fiber Access Ryan McCowan said. “With 100G
switching, 10G access, and now mass-market 10G CPE, covered by
end-to-end open service orchestration, ADTRAN is leading the next wave
in fiber broadband.”
