Business Wire
Phase 1 begins this week using ADTRAN G.fast
solutions in a variety of deployment scenarios ahead of mass
rollout in 2017
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking solutions, today announced it is
the prime project vendor in a countrywide G.fast deployment for
Israeli incumbent operator Bezeq. The initial phase, involving a
suite of G.fast distribution point unit (DPU) and CPE solutions
from ADTRAN’s Mosaic© SD-Access portfolio, will represent one of
the largest ongoing G.fast deployments in the world. The mass
G.fast rollout will quickly establish Israel at the forefront of
digital nations, bringing ultrafast broadband capabilities to
citizens at a record pace. ADTRAN’s IP68 sealed G.fast solutions,
serving as the foundational element for Bezeq’s G.fast plans, allow
deployment with confidence due to ADTRAN’s global leadership in the
growing sealed micro DSLAM segment.
“ADTRAN’s advanced G.fast innovation makes it the clear choice
for our G.fast rollout, helping us rapidly serve customers across
Israel with new, transformative broadband services,” said Bezeq
CTIO, Yaki Zano. “ADTRAN’s collaborative involvement in our
strategic development has given us a robust and flexible technology
roadmap for the future of our broadband access network, ready to
confront new opportunities.”
The announcement is validation of ADTRAN’s global G.fast
technology leadership and follows a series of intensive lab and
field trials with the operator during 2016. Allied to the success
of these trials was ADTRAN’s partnership approach to addressing
Bezeq’s unique Gigabit broadband goals within a short
timeframe.
“Bezeq is assuring a bright, sustainable future for ultrafast
and Gigabit broadband services in Israel, applying G.fast in a wide
range of varied applications so that the maximum number of
subscribers across the country are able to benefit without waiting
for FTTP to arrive,” said Ronan Kelly, CTO for EMEA and APAC at
ADTRAN. “ADTRAN G.fast solutions are built for superior
versatility, robustness and performance, with software-defined
networking (SDN) principles that make Bezeq’s network more
flexible, open and ready to exploit dynamically.”
Bezeq is leveraging ADTRAN’s G.fast solutions in a variety of
locations and deployment scenarios including FTTB, FTTCab and both
aerial and subterranean FTTdp. Each of the DPUs involved in Bezeq’s
deployment utilizes ADTRAN’s renowned sealed micro DSLAM enclosures
and is physical layer agnostic to ensure rapid service provisioning
and activation, even within multi-vendor FTTx infrastructures. In
addition, ADTRAN DPUs are chipset agnostic, allowing them to remain
at the forefront of G.fast innovation, independent of the pace of
development of specific chipset vendors.
As Bezeq develops its network infrastructure for more
programmable, flexible Gigabit service delivery, another key
consideration is enabling increased automation utilizing ADTRAN’s
unique software-defined network virtualisation capabilities.
