SD-Access unleashes lucrative user-driven service delivery model
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2016--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced the availability of its highly
programmable 10G-PON SD-Access portfolio of residential and business
gateways powered by ADTRAN Mosaic™ OS. The cost-effective,
highly-elastic SD-Access gateways are natively integrated into the
ADTRAN Mosaic Cloud architecture, extending SDN control to the customer
edge and supporting service orchestration across the entire access
network. The ADTRAN SDX 600 gateways and Mosaic OS represent the
culmination of ADTRAN’s market-leading assets by integrating
field-proven business VoIP, Carrier Ethernet and dynamic RF management
and Self Optimizing Network (SON) capabilities into residential
solutions.
“Service providers have historically faced a common problem with ONTs
being closed and proprietary. Native SDN control allows for greatly
simplified interoperability, breaking service providers out of the
vendor lock-in that exists in traditional PON systems,” said Julie
Kunstler, principal analyst, Ovum. “A direct cloud to subscriber edge,
software-defined management architecture, like ADTRAN’s, removes the
need for lengthy multi-vendor integration cycles and enables the service
provider to rapidly evolve its service offerings by taking advantage of
emerging technologies.”
The highly-programmable ADTRAN SDX 600 residential and business 10
Gigabit gateways are the first of their kind, supporting NG-PON2 and
XGS-PON to unleash the capacity of fiber networks. When these SD-Access
solutions are deployed at a customer site and paired with a unifying
next-generation OS and cloud platform, such as ADTRAN Mosaic, service
providers can create a powerful user-driven service delivery platform.
This approach to user-driven service delivery enables telco and cable
providers to operate at web-scale, supporting expanded service
flexibility and velocity for voice, data, video and smart home
applications.
“Service providers are demanding highly programmable residential and
business gateways that support both an agile 10Gbps physical connection
and a zero-touch deployment model which leads to dramatically reduced
operational costs and improved quality of experience,” said Jeremy
Harris, portfolio manager, customer devices, ADTRAN. “ADTRAN SD-Access
architectures allow service providers to support rapid service creation
and customer expansion while enjoying new paradigms in network
efficiency.”
In partnership with Spirent at MEF16
in Baltimore, November 7-10, ADTRAN will host a Proof of Concept (PoC)
showcase to demonstrate solutions for rapid, zero-touch on-boarding of
cloud-based 10G Carrier Ethernet services over SDN-controlled NG-PON2
networks. This will include proactive assurance of services with
automated turn-up verification, intelligent SLA monitoring and
programmable network modification.
