ADTRAN leads new initiative for open interfaces in FTTx to bring
operators the same freedoms as cable, video and DSL broadband
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2015--
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation
networking solutions, is unlocking closed, single-vendor access networks
to bring FTTx into line with the open, standards based approach common
across all other broadband media. ADTRAN’s commitment is manifest in the
unique products, interfaces and interoperability demos showcased on its
Broadband World Forum booth (C40).
“The market demands a fully programmable network to give operators
better control over their services, their multi-vendor infrastructure,
and their commercial destiny,” said Jay Wilson, senior vice president of
technology and strategy, ADTRAN. “For that we need to open all broadband
network architecture to maximise choice of best-in-class solutions and
assure optimum deployment synergies. This is more than an aspiration; it
is a major focus for our innovation resources and it is a defining
hallmark of the Future Network State as we see it.”
Among the major industry players adding their voices to this initiative
is Technicolor, one of the global leaders in modems, gateways and
set-top boxes. “Whether it is G.fast or FTTH, operators want to push
boundaries with the best available technology, and deploy end-to-end
solutions comprising best-in-class vendors,” said Gary Gutknecht, vice
president, product management at Technicolor. “We support ADTRAN’s
initiative because we share the same vision for broadband – in all its
forms – becoming a fully open, unlocked architecture.”

network via unlocked architectures are available to explore at this
