ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 platform enables increased bandwidth for
next–generation data and video services for residential customers
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2013--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation
networking solutions, announced today that Glandorf Telephone Company
will be using ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 broadband platform to enable
high-speed broadband and video service to households in Northwest Ohio.
Glandorf is utilizing the flexibility of the Total Access 5000 to
deliver both Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Ultra Broadband services to
both residential and business customers. Glandorf is reaching the
unreachable with premium services by capitalizing on their extensive
existing copper network to double the bandwidth service speed over
bonded copper for rural residents who cannot be serviced by the fiber
network. In addition, Glandorf is positioned to offer business class
services from the same platform, increasing both revenue opportunities
and customer base.
ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 helps service providers like Glandorf
Telephone Company reinvent their access networks by delivering broadband
over both copper and fiber architectures. This enables service providers
with the capacity and scalability needed to meet the growing demand for
super-premium internet and HD video services while providing a seamless
migration path for existing legacy services. ADTRAN’s broadband platform
provides virtually unlimited network bandwidth with an ultra-low cost of
ownership, allowing Glandorf to expand its addressable market and reach
residents who may not have had easy access to these types of services
previously.
“Our previous solution limited our ability to offer our customers the
services they were looking for. We knew we needed to find a solution
that would increase speed and serve more subscribers,” said Jason
Kleman, IT manager with Glandorf Telephone Company. “Since implementing
ADTRAN’s broadband platform, we are able to provide more reliable and
efficient service to our customers, increasing customer satisfaction.”
“Our goal at ADTRAN is to help service providers deploy a solution that
allows them to launch and stay ahead by offering the latest
next-generation services, creating opportunities to increase market
share and revenue,” said Mitch Fleming, regional vice president, sales,
ADTRAN Carrier Networks Division. “ADTRAN’s products provide the
flexibility and simplicity that service providers, like Glandorf
Telephone, need to not only grow their network bandwidth over time, but
also diversify their service offering to meet both residential and
business customers’ demand.”
