Next-generation network capacity and reliability helps transform
working and learning environments
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 8, 2016--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), today announced it is enabling enterprises,
small businesses and schools to more quickly leverage Gigabit speeds
with the release of its 10G Ethernet Aggregation Switch. The
high-performance solution offers more capacity and reliability than
traditional switches, making it ideal for businesses looking to support
growing demands for high-bandwidth VoIP, world-class Wi-Fi,
Gigabit-to-the-Desktop and cloud connectivity. ADTRAN has combined these
capabilities in its 10G solution to empower enterprises with networks
that are transforming the way schools teach, people work and healthcare
is delivered.
The rise in Gigabit services in the access network is creating
opportunities for enterprises to access premium voice and data networks.
In the classroom, Gigabit connectivity empowers students and teachers
with ultra-fast access to media-rich learning tools such as
collaboration platforms and streaming video that foster a more
individualized learning experience. In the office, Gigabit services
create more reliable connectivity as well as high-performance business
communications and cloud services. In healthcare, Gigabit services
enable doctors to become remote care givers by streaming consultations
over high-bandwidth connections directly into patients’ homes.
“ADTRAN helps businesses make Gigabit a reality—whether they are looking
to leverage 1 Gigabit services or prepare for the possibilities that are
unfolding with 10G,” said Chris Thompson, director, customer devices
portfolio, ADTRAN. “We’re enabling businesses to more easily support
transformative Gigabit services. ADTRAN’s 10G Ethernet Switch is the
next step in our path to connect the access network to the end consumer
with next-generation technology and ultra-fast broadband speeds.”
The 10G Ethernet Switch can be leveraged as a high-capacity Top-of-Rack
core switch or an aggregation switch in data center environments. Link
aggregation allows for the grouping of up to four 10G ports into one 40G
port at the physical layer for scalable high-bandwidth aggregation. As
enterprises look to adopt SDN-ready technologies, ADTRAN’s 10G Ethernet
Switch offers an open and programmable architecture that can grow with
customer requirements and provide a transitory solution for migrating to
SDN-enabled networks.
