New ADTRAN Total Access 5004 enables service providers to justify and
grow premium services in hard-to-reach areas with 2RU carrier grade form
factor
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2013--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation
networking solutions, announced today a significant addition to the
company’s market leading ultra-broadband portfolio, the Total Access®
5004. Designed to address limitations commonly found in competitive
small form-factor products, the Total Access 5004 provides separate data
and control planes, carrier-class redundancy, complete non-blocking
architecture, and the ability to scale to meet future needs. The compact
solution is a multi-service access platform (MSAP) system designed to
deliver higher rate premium services over fiber or copper deeper into
the network. With this addition, the Total Access 5000 Series remains
the industry’s most flexible ultra-broadband platform, enabling service
providers to rapidly capture new revenue opportunities and reduce their
capital and operating costs.
The new platform leverages ADTRAN’s Advanced ServicesSM
Architecture to deliver next-generation residential and business
services onto a converged infrastructure. This provides service
providers unprecedented architectural scalability with true
carrier-class availability and performance at every scale point, from
dozens to thousands of subscribers. The solution lowers the customer
service take rate threshold for delivering premium services in
underserved or other hard to reach areas, thus expanding the addressable
service market and growing the top line of service providers. The
ability to consolidate services onto a common access infrastructure
provides operational cost savings due to a single network, all services
approach.
“Service providers have been challenged to deploy next-generation
broadband beyond the most profitable portions of their networks. As
regulatory broadband targets loom operators need innovative
carrier-class platforms that are cost-optimized for premium services
delivery in not only dense urban areas but allow for profitable
multi-service delivery in more far flung, hard to reach areas,” said
Teresa Mastrangelo, principal analyst, Broadband Trends. “The Total
Access 5004 has the ability to address two key growing market segments
over a common converged infrastructure: providing for success-based
migration from FTTN to FTTH in underserved, remote markets while also
delivering high-performance broadband, cloud and backhaul services in
expanding metro markets.”
The Total Access 5004 delivers the performance, scalability,
flexibility, redundancy and serviceability typical of large central
office platforms in a compact, 2 rack unit (RU), form-factor that is
ideal for space-constrained cabinet retrofits and small remote
terminals. The chassis supports a full range of services from the broad
portfolio of Total Access 5000 access modules supporting services
including IPTV, OTT, Carrier Ethernet, VoIP and TDM. The solution can be
configured to be one or more of the following:
-
The industry’s highest-capacity Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) solution
for VoIP, IPTV and business Ethernet services — 32 GPON OLT or 96
point to point Ethernet ports in a 2RU form-factor.
-
The industry’s highest-density 10G packet optical edge solution for
aggregation and transport of high-bandwidth premium services — 32
10Gigabit Ethernet or OTN ports in 2RU form-factor.
-
The industry’s most versatile Carrier Ethernet services delivery
platform supporting MEF certified services over any access
infrastructure, whether fiber-based access over DS3, GPON, Active
Ethernet, or Ethernet over wavelength services (OTN, WDM) or
copper-based access over DS1/E1, SHDSL, ADSL2+, or VDSL2
-
A highly versatile, ultra-low latency mobile backhaul solution
simultaneously supporting large installation 10GE urban 4G-Advanced
cell towers or Remote Radio Heads (RRH) over CPRI, OTN or WDM, and
small or metrocell backhaul over GPON, Bonded SHDSL or Vectored VDSL2.
-
A rapidly deployable Fiber-to-the-Node (FTTN) solution leveraging
board-, system- and multi-system level VDSL2 vectoring for VoIP, IPTV
and business Ethernet delivery that will in turn fully transition to a
full end to end GPON, Active Ethernet or Next-Gen PON FTTP solution as
future services demand
“ADTRAN’s years of experience supporting the top service providers in
the world have enabled us to innovate and deliver the industry’s most
versatile premium services access solution in the Total Access 5004,”
said Darrell Brown, director, Broadband Product Line Management. “As our
customers look to accelerate premium service delivery to Gigabit service
levels over fiber or copper, ADTRAN is offering unmatched flexibility
and scalability to help them achieve and exceed their deployment goals
with a fresh approach. The Total Access 5004 with our Advanced Services
Architecture really reinvents the game.”
