ADTRAN, a provider of next-generation networking solutions,
announced that Valley Telephone Cooperative, (VTCI), a LEC and CLEC serving
South Texas and recipient of the single largest Broadband Stimulus award in the
state, has selected ADTRAN’s broadband portfolio for its Fiber-to-the-Premises
(FTTP) rollout.
This project will allow VTCI to extend high-bandwidth
triple-play and Ethernet services throughout its coverage area, doubling its
addressable market for Active Ethernet-based services to over 9,000 new
subscribers in the region.
In addition to business and residential services, VTCI
will also use ADTRAN’s Advanced Operational Environment (AOE) solution to
manage video services rollout and simplify their operations.
ADTRAN listened to our requirements and delivered a
specific solution that allows us to offer our customers best-in-class FTTP,”
said Dave Osborn, CEO, VTCI.
With our plans to scale to thousands of subscribers,
simplicity and ease of deploying services quickly is essential. When combined
with ADTRAN’s advanced services management platform, the ADTRAN portfolio
delivers on all of the critical components needed to support our large-scale
FTTP deployment,” Osborn added.
VTCI considered ADTRAN’s new services management solution
a key deciding factor during its evaluation process. With this management
system in place, VTCI can leverage a single interface to manage all of its
network elements, and more importantly, many of the services for its customer
base.
The AOE interface provides secure access to specialized
tools designed to improve operational efficiencies including ServiceActivator
for straightforward and consistent turn up, ServiceMonitor to maintain network
integrity, and ServiceCheck for intelligently guided troubleshooting.
In addition, ADTRAN management solutions include flexible
OSS integration options for enhanced scalability while leveraging the new
higher density, single slot, 24-port Active Ethernet Optical Line Terminal
(OLT).
As service provider networks evolve, ADTRAN enables
customers, like VTCI, to quickly adapt to rapid changes in network capacity
requirements, subscriber usage behavior and demands for high-bandwidth
applications,” said Mitch Fleming, regional vice president, sales, ADTRAN
Carrier Networks Division.
With unmatched financial stability, deep engineering
expertise and award-winning professional services and support, ADTRAN is the
ideal choice for carriers looking to upgrade their networks to take advantage
of the high-value, rich media services their customers are demanding today,”
Fleming added.
ADTRAN recently announced that Moundville Telephone Company, a service provider serving West-Central Alabama, has selected ADTRAN’s broadband portfolio including Total Access 5000 Multi-Service Access
and Aggregation Platform (MSAP), to enhance its triple-play and high-speed
Internet access service delivery.
This will enable Moundville to expand the range, reach
and performance of a variety of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services and upgrade
existing DSL services. In addition, the service provider will also utilize the
ADTRAN solution for mobile backhaul applications, enabling the transition to
Ethernet transport.
