Open, programmable network elements deliver network scale, agility
and broadband service velocity
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2016--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced the first set of network elements
to take SDN beyond principal framework to actual product implementation
in broadband access networks. These Software Defined Access (SD-Access)
network elements leverage the ADTRAN Mosaic© architecture to
accelerate service providers’ path to open, programmable and scalable
networks. SD-Access architectures allow service providers to operate at
web-scale, supporting expanded service flexibility and velocity.
ADTRAN’s programmable network elements leverage agile, real-time service
configuration typically found in the data center and apply it to the
service provider’s access network. ADTRAN’s end-to-end suite of software
defined network elements, the SDX Series, includes the following:
-
High-density Passive Optical Network Optical Line Terminals (PON OLTs)
-
Fiber-To-The-Distribution Point (FTTdp), leveraging copper and coax
-
IP/Ethernet aggregation, fabric and Carrier Ethernet 2.0 access
switches/routers
-
Highly-programmable customer devices such as residential gateways,
Wi-Fi Access Points and virtual CPE that together span the entire
access network from cloud to subscriber edge
By deploying the SDN-native SDX portfolio in concert with a cloud
platform, such as ADTRAN Mosaic, service providers can realize data
center economies and agility in their broadband and business services
access networks. Aligned closely with ON.Lab’s CORD initiative, ADTRAN’s
SDX network solutions portfolio benefits directly from the expanding
community of application developers leveraging the open architecture.
“Service providers are building networks with high scalability,
availability and performance so they can more easily keep up with
bandwidth intensive applications. These requirements are
challenging—service providers need flexible, open systems and platforms
in order to build agile networks that can keep up with customer
expectations,” said Lee Doyle, principal analyst at Doyle Research.
“Programmable network elements, like ADTRAN’s, are critical to a service
provider’s ability to transform service delivery across residential,
mobile and enterprise markets.”
“ADTRAN is leading agile network solutions development. The SDX series
of natively SDN-controlled access devices will enable operators to fast
track the deployment of fully automated, web-scale networks,” said
Robert Conger, associate vice president, cloud and portfolio strategy,
ADTRAN. “Service providers can rapidly create, deploy and upgrade
applications independently for increased operational efficiencies,
regardless of device, technology or service. This leads to more nimble
business models, service innovations and improved revenue.”
ADTRAN will demonstrate its Mosaic architecture with programmable
network elements at Broadband
World Forum today in London. For more information on the ADTRAN
