ADTRAN to showcase Mosaic’s SDN-programmability across optical and
data domains using CORD architecture
BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), the leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced it will demonstrate its CORD-based
fiber access solution at Mobile World Congress 2018 as part of the
Coriant Multi-Sided Solutions Showcase. By partnering with Coriant, a
best-in-breed transport and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) vendor,
ADTRAN’s demonstration will validate the strength of its ADTRAN
Mosaic solution as the world’s most open and complete SD-Access
architecture by extending the architecture beyond the access to the
transport network.
During the demonstration, ADTRAN will showcase its SDN-programmable
10Gbps NG-PON2 access solution that supports converged residential
broadband, SLA-based enterprise and 5G front/backhaul services. The demo
will feature SDN/NFV-enabled multi-layer, multi-domain provisioning
between the Coriant Transcend™ Maestro Multidomain Controller and ADTRAN
Mosaic SD-Access architecture as validation of open standard
interworking across multi-vendor cloud platforms. Service providers will
learn how they can build and operate best-of-breed networks inclusive of
ADTRAN’s CORD-based wavelength agile Nx10Gbps fiber access and Coriant’s
complete line of industry-leading aggregation to core transport
solutions.
“SD-Access is an architectural shift from previous networks that have
historically relied on closed, monolithic, vendor-specific management
systems. Mosaic’s open approach to networking eliminates that vendor
lock-in, and at the same time enables operators to lower their costs for
building, operating and maintaining their networks,” said Chris
Thompson, director of Mosaic software and solutions portfolio, ADTRAN.
“We are eager to demonstrate these capabilities at Mobile World Congress
with Coriant to showcase Mosaic’s capabilities across the transport
network, as well as with many other partners and applications soon.”
Beyond ADTRAN and Coriant’s demonstration at Mobile World Congress,
Coriant is also the newest member of the Mosaic
Open Network Alliance. Leveraging the open and programmable nature
of ADTRAN’s Mosaic solution, Coriant is integrating ADTRAN’s SD-Access
fiber access solution within the Coriant Transcend framework, providing
an industry-leading open, agile and fully software-controlled end-to-end
transport solution.
“Coriant is a strong advocate of open networking, which enables network
operators to easily choose from a collection of best-in-class solutions
from a variety of vendors to provide a truly differentiated network
solution,” said Robert Shore, senior vice president of global sales
enablement, Coriant. “ADTRAN’s SD-Access solution fills a critical gap
in bringing open and programmable networking solutions all the way to
the edge of the network. Coupled with Coriant’s Multi-Sided Platform
Partnership program, ADTRAN’s Mosaic Open Network Alliance provides a
community of uniquely vetted solutions that mitigate risk to network
operators’ businesses and accelerates solution integration.”
The ADTRAN demonstration will take place at the Coriant Multi-Sided
Solutions Showcase at Coriant’s Booth at Hall 2, Stand 2I30. Mobile
World Congress 2018 is held in Barcelona, Spain, February 26 – March 1,
2018.
