Comprehensive SD-Access solution toolkit enables providers to expand
Gigabit services to capture lucrative MDU market
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 7, 2016--
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced it is enabling service providers
to target the Millennial (Generation Y) market by expanding Gigabit
services to multi-dwelling units (MDUs) with its comprehensive portfolio
of programmable networking functions—a series of solutions designed to
support the demand for infinite bandwidth and customer expansion to
achieve the massive scalability required to meet growing network traffic
demands. By implementing the ADTRAN Mosaic cloud architecture, service
providers can rapidly create and deploy user-driven services and support
subscriber self-install to speed deployments. ADTRAN recognizes that the
MDU market is much more complex and multi-faceted than the small
business or single family residential markets, so it developed
programmable networking functions that enable operators to successfully
meet the unique needs of the Millennial and MDU markets by leveraging
existing wiring, thus overcoming traditional FTTB roadblocks, to connect
apartments and condominiums.
MDUs have traditionally been a challenging market to serve due to the
varying types of in-building wiring that have previously made it
difficult to deliver FTTB services. ADTRAN’s portfolio of programmable
networking functions enable providers to deliver FTTB services over the
MDUs’ existing wires, including fiber, CAT6, CAT5, CAT3 copper, coax and
wireless. With the ability to deliver Gigabit broadband over any type of
wired or wireless architecture, service providers are now able to
capture one of the most sought-after and influential market
segments—Millennials. At over 90 million strong and with a buying power
exceeding $600 billion annually, Millennials comprise a large percentage
of the MDU market. For this reason, operators are creating service
models that directly target this digitally native consumer bracket by
delivering user-enabled, cloud-based broadband.
“The MDU market is a complex and growing market, encompassing a variety
of building, resident and owner requirements,” said Mitch Fleming, vice
president of carrier sales, ADTRAN. “ADTRAN’s programmable networking
functions enable operators the ability to offer their MDU subscribers
self-service portals and customized service choices. For Millennials and
digital natives, this user-directed service model has become the norm
for purchasing anything from taxi services to airlines to hotels, and we
believe their broadband should be no different.”
The ADTRAN Mosaic architecture suite of programmable network functions,
the most complete and open SD-Access portfolio in the market, provide
drastically improved operator competitiveness by natively integrating
into open micro-services architectures spanning the entire network from
cloud edge to subscriber edge. ADTRAN’s comprehensive portfolio of
programmable networking functions includes:
-
Mosaic Cloud Platform that combines modular apps that have been
developed in a microservices software architecture with open source
control and orchestration platforms to create open, SDN-based network
programmability;
-
ADTRAN Gigabit access solutions spanning NG-PON2, GPON and G.fast;
-
ADTRAN FTTH “Universal” ONT Portfolio, also supporting an open
broadband interface;
-
ADTRAN Bluesocket Series of Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi Access Points (APs);
and
-
ADTRAN NetVanta 8424 Series 10 Gbps Multi-Service Edge Switch.
