Global service providers proving the business case for G.fast-powered
Gigabit services
MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2014--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation
networking solutions, today announced that it has G.fast ultra-broadband
trials underway with service providers in Europe, North America and
Asia-Pacific. The trials demonstrate that G.fast is moving beyond a
technology concept toward a commercial reality supported by a portfolio
of fibre-to-the-distribution point (FTTdp) environmentally sealed
platforms. ADTRAN’s G.fast solutions are helping service providers
address the unique and varied deployment scenarios encountered where
fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) is cost prohibitive.
G.fast technology provides service providers with an economically
feasible means to accelerate premium services to the broadest target
market possible. The ADTRAN 500G Series enables service providers to
maximize bandwidth from their existing infrastructure, accelerating the
availability of ultra-broadband services and the future game-changing
applications they enable.
“G.fast FTTdp is an ideal solution to offer ultrafast broadband speeds
to our customers, reducing installation impacts and costs of FTTH,” said
Andrea Calvi, responsible for IP Networks, at Telecom Italia. “We were
pleased to have had ADTRAN demonstrate a real-world FTTdp solution based
on the G.fast standard.”
“The breadth and geographical reach of our G.fast trials demonstrates
the market’s appetite for this technology, as operators look to push
toward Gigabit speeds in evolutionary steps with rapid ROI,” said Dr.
Eduard Scheiterer, senior vice president and managing director,
international markets for ADTRAN. “We expect many of these progressive
operators to begin finalizing their G.fast rollout strategies and
procedures in readiness for the general availability of commercial
G.fast solutions in 2015.”
ADTRAN is demonstrating its latest G.fast solutions at Stand
E30 at Broadband World Forum, Oct 21–23, in Amsterdam. The
demonstration features reverse powering and installation variants
required to ensure the success of future FTTdp service architectures.
