ADTRAN’s hiX 5600 MSAN enables Gigabit Ethernet services delivery
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2013--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation
networking solutions, today announced the expansion of its hiX MSAN
portfolio. The hiX 5600 series adds a new 48-port Point-to-Point
Ethernet module that is purpose-built for scaling 100Mbps and Gigabit
services, enabling service providers to more ably manage the bandwidth
explosion being driven by cloud, data and video applications. Through
ADTRAN’s continued enhancement of the hiX family of products, this new
high-density fiber service option, combined with existing DSLAM modules,
makes the hiX 5600 a key component to ADTRAN’s industry-leading FTTx
solution suite.
With the addition of ADTRAN’s hiX technology for system-level vectoring,
European service providers can easily support a higher and more diverse
bandwidth service mix within the same platform. They can also tune
service expansions according to the street-by-street needs of business
and residential subscribers, which gives them a higher level of control.
All key services access technologies are integrated into a single,
common access aggregation platform with the ADTRAN hiX 5600 MSAN series.
This enables service providers to quickly and cost effectively deploy
the services enterprise and residential customers demand, regardless of
the associated bandwidth requirements.
The hiX 5600 series is a family of high-performance, carrier-class IP
multi-service access and aggregation nodes designed to ETSI standards.
These nodes bridge the gap between the carrier IP network and the end
subscriber for both fibre and copper services. They are ideal for
delivering premium services to residential broadband, SLA-based business
and backhaul customers which are utilizing next-generation system-level
vectoring and Fiber-to-the-Premises technologies.
Built upon a pure IP core, the hiX 5600 series supports both legacy and
emerging service interfaces over both fibre and copper. As a result,
service providers are able to future proof their networks. New services
can be deployed with the simple addition of a line card, avoiding
equipment obsolescence and protecting the service provider’s network
investments. All hiX-based systems offer a simple migration path from
legacy interfaces to IP, such as transitioning from traditional POTS or
ISDN voice infrastructures to VoIP, enabling service providers to adapt
quickly to new business opportunities and remain highly competitive.
Finally, to ensure maximum flexibility, the common equipment and line
cards are environmentally hardened allowing the system to be deployed
virtually anywhere. The hiX 5600 series platforms are available in four
different sizes (the hiX 5622, hiX 5625, hiX 5630 and hiX 5635 models)
and can be deployed at the central office or deep in the network.
“Maximum flexibility of access deployment is a vital pre-requisite for
European service providers, and in particular the ability for FTTP and
VDSL2 vectoring to coexist within the same asset; enabling responsive
go-to-market at a massively reduced cost,” said Ronan Kelly, director of
product line management, ADTRAN Carrier Networks Division. “ADTRAN’s
comprehensive FTTx portfolio is now even better able to help our
customers meet their business needs by providing a complete high density
platform that allows them to capitalize fully on the premium services
expansion that is taking place in the market today.”
