CT Communications launching next-generation services and simplifying
network transformation with ADTRAN Total Access 5000 broadband platform
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2013--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation
networking solutions, announced today that CT Communications has
increased the throughput of their high-speed broadband services by more
than 30 times by leveraging ADTRAN’s Total Access® broadband platform.
Optimized for premium services, ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 has enabled
CT Communications to deliver a full range of next-generation services,
like IPTV with full SD, HD and DVR capabilities, over both copper and
fiber architectures for residential and business customers in western
Ohio.
The flexibility and innovative design of ADTRAN’s broadband platform
allowed CT Communications to economically deliver tomorrow's services
today. CT Communications’ previous network equipment solution only
allowed subscribers 1.5 Mbps internet download speeds and no video
capabilities. After deploying the Total Access 5000, bandwidth service
speeds have significantly increased with some customers having the
ability to experience download speeds up to 50Mbps using the latest
generation of copper technology, VDSL2. On the fiber side, ADTRAN’s
Total Access 5000 also offers CT Communications a high-capacity optical
Ethernet access network that easily scales to handle the most bandwidth
intensive services, enabling CT Communications to support compelling
customer applications requiring 1Gbps upload and download speeds. This
flexible point-to-point Active Ethernet architecture allows CT
Communications to provide a more diverse product offer for both their
premium residential and business services, increasing their overall
services revenue potential.
“Our previous service speeds put us at a disadvantage in the
marketplace, but now we are able to deliver competitive products and
services to our customers by utilizing reliable, next-generation
technology,” said Tim Bolander, Chief Technology Officer at CT
Communications. “ADTRAN’s Total Access broadband platform has allowed us
to provide high speed Internet and high definition video to meet our
customers’ demands, while also providing us the flexibility to expand
our product and service offer in the future.”
“Triple-play customers have a choice between service providers that
offer an array of high-speed broadband services, so it is critical for
service providers to deploy the most advanced technologies possible to
stay competitive,” said Mitch Fleming, vice president of sales for
ADTRAN’s Carrier Networks Division. “ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 makes it
possible for service providers like CT Communications to exceed both
their residential and business customer expectations both in bandwidth
speeds and diverse product sets.”
