ADTRAN’s Gfast long-reach, construction-less
Gigabit-to-the-Basement solution creates unparalleled subscriber
access to gigabit broadband services
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking solutions, today announced its new
disruptive Gfast deployment model to enable network operators to
deliver gigabit speeds as widely as possible throughout their
networks. Operators in highly competitive dense urban and urban
environments are often challenged in their ability to extend their
fiber-based gigabit services because of the time and cost
associated with trenching fiber.
Typical Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTdp) or Building
(FTTB) solutions extend fiber services by 50 -100m, however with
ADTRAN’s new Gigabit-to-the-Basement (GTTB) solution, gigabit
services can be extended out to 650m from where the fiber ends.
This added distance eliminates construction requirements that can
often delay service roll outs, enabling service providers to offer
gigabit services in just days or weeks versus months or years.
ADTRAN’s GTTB solution overcomes the construction impediments that
usually slow down new service introduction. By launching gigabit
services from the existing fiber-fed cabinet locations, operators
are able to roll out services 2-5 times faster and at a fraction of
the cost of traditional FTTdp/B solutions.
“Regulatory bodies such as the FCC and EU understand the
economic benefits of a broadband-connected society and have crafted
policies that drive communities towards gigabit speeds over the
next 5-10 years,” said Jaimie Lenderman, Senior Analyst, Ovum. “The
capabilities demonstrated by ADTRAN have the potential to enable
many existing cabinets/nodes to connect and rollout gigabit
services, which support turning this vision into reality.”
This new solution expands the ADTRAN Gfast portfolio by
combining ADTRAN’s 2nd generation SDX 2200 series of 212MHz,
reverse powered Gfast DPUs with the ADTRAN bonded Super-Vectoring
(VDSL2 35b) technology, providing gigabit rates from existing
cabinet infrastructure and thus extending gigabit services
significantly. ADTRAN’s innovative GTTB service supports network
operators’ ability to significantly expedite gigabit services
deployments to a considerable percentage of their customer
base.
“This innovative solution combines two next-generation
ultra-broadband technologies, and allows service providers to use
either fiber or bonded vectored VDSL2 to backhaul Gfast services,”
said Werner Heinrich, Director, Portfolio Management, Broadband
Solutions, ADTRAN. “This announcement showcases ADTRAN’s ability to
deliver disruptive solutions to the market, utilizing our deep
domain experience in sealed outside plant, reverse power and market
leading ultra-broadband technologies like Gfast and Super-Vectoring
to enable our customers to meet market demand and exceed their
customers’ expectations.”
