Company unveils industry’s first business gateway to simplify
IP-based communications through the integration of service provider and
enterprise equipment
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2014--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), today announced the introduction of the
game-changing NetVanta 6360 Carrier Ethernet Customer Edge IP Business
Gateway. The solution collapses the functionality of a converged
business-class voice gateway, an access router for data services and a
Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF)-compliant Carrier Ethernet services gateway
into a single, optimized platform for streamlined business services
delivery. Eliminating the need for multiple, single-purpose devices that
independently support each of these services enables providers to expand
their offerings while gaining significant operational efficiency and a
more competitive service portfolio.
The NetVanta 6360 represents an industry breakthrough with its ability
to integrate Layer 2 service provider Network Termination Equipment
(NTE) with Layer 3 enterprise Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). As
businesses are transitioning their networks from legacy TDM to IP-based
environments, a high level of complexity is created for both the service
provider and the enterprise IT team. The NetVanta 6360 simplifies this
IP Transition with analog or digital gateway capability, as well as
combines support for hosted VoIP, Ethernet, SIP trunking, cloud services
and WAN access termination on a single IP platform. The solution
provides unprecedented performance, reduces infrastructure and operating
costs, as well as associated stocking time and training expenses.
“Advanced services like VoIP and SIP trunking are in high demand due to
their ability to enhance business communications and create a more
efficient network. Combining the functionality of service provider and
enterprise network equipment enables a smooth transition to these
IP-based services,” said Diane Myers, principal analyst, VoIP, UC and
IMS, Infonetics Research. “An integrated business gateway that supports
VoIP, bandwidth-rich data and Carrier Ethernet can enable service
providers to more easily grow their addressable markets.”
“The addition of the NetVanta 6360 to ADTRAN’s market-leading line of IP
Business Gateways ensures service providers have the flexible solutions
they need to streamline service delivery for their enterprise
customers,” said Christie Holder, product manager for ADTRAN’s
Enterprise Networks Division. “ADTRAN’s comprehensive NetVanta portfolio
enables our customers to evolve and grow to meet the demands of today’s
communication network. Whether a service provider is looking to deliver
business VoIP, residential broadband, Carrier Ethernet or mobile
backhaul, ADTRAN has the right solution to support them.”
