“Given the range of geographic and logistical challenges involved with
rural broadband service delivery, service providers responsible for CAF
II build-outs seek network solutions that optimize existing
infrastructure, simplify deployment and provisioning and improve the
broadband experience, ultimately lowering their overall capital and
operational costs,” Ovum Principal Analyst Julie Kunstler said.
“Flexible, cost-effective deployment options that offer a range of
benefits, as seen in the latest advancements to ADTRAN’s DSLAM
portfolio, are certain to be in demand among these operators.”
Recently, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced updates to its CAF
program to improve the quality and availability of high-speed internet
service in rural America. Further, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture also unveiled a $600
million loan and grant program to assist with building rural
broadband infrastructure.
As the market leader in building and deploying solutions for CAF and
rural applications, ADTRAN has delivered numerous innovations through
its sealed micro FTTN solutions that help service providers affordably
deliver ultra-broadband (100+Mbps) services into remote and rural areas.
The latest member of the ADTRAN ultra-broadband family of solutions
further expands service providers’ options to reach more customers by
utilizing enhanced technologies to build their best networks.
“ADTRAN is committed to supporting service providers as they address the
broadband disparity in rural America, and our focus remains on
delivering the best available options on the market today—solutions that
allow them to fully tackle challenging CAF II deployment requirements
while minimizing expenses,” ADTRAN Portfolio Manager Javier Lopez said.

underserved and urban areas will find everything they need within the
most recent additions to our access portfolio.”
