Unique service orchestration and powerful
customer device capability delivers higher broadband profitability
while paving way for future cloud-based smart home, Internet of
Things and video applications
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation networking solutions, today announced the
integration of a captive portal and wireless video delivery into
the ADTRAN Gigabit service architecture. Service providers are now
able to drastically reduce the time of adding new broadband and
business subscribers from hours to minutes. With demand for Gigabit
broadband outpacing service providers’ ability to ramp up services
in their respective communities, ADTRAN is delivering unique
service orchestration capabilities – utilizing back office
automation, network programmability and wireless video
functionality – that eliminates the pre-provisioning and manual
nature of service turn up. This makes it easier for service
providers to meet Gigabit service demand today and prepare for
immersive communication, entertainment, home automation and other
bandwidth-intensive applications that will drive future broadband
opportunities.
“Increased competitive pressure from Over-the-Top (OTT) video
and mobile voice is pushing service providers towards more pure
broadband service offerings. In order to maximize profitability for
these services, it is essential for service providers to find ways
to decrease time to market and reduce the cost per connected home,”
said Jeff Heynen, senior principal analyst, IHS Technology. “ADTRAN
is the first to bring to market service orchestration capabilities
that reduce the time intensive, manual nature of turning up Gigabit
broadband services by introducing the ADTRAN Captive Portal. This
fundamentally changes the cost structure for how service providers
add new subscribers.”
ADTRAN has pioneered these service orchestration technologies
with several key customers, achieving outstanding results. On
average, service providers accelerated both residential and
business service rollouts with a 10X or more reduction in the back
office and technical support tasks needed to support service
activations. This network orchestration allowed less skilled
personnel to rapidly scale new services while yielding a reduction
of service and equipment commissioning errors to nearly zero.
Technicians were also able to use wireless video distribution – via
powerful Gigabit Wi-Fi – to install broadband home equipment in
minutes instead of spending hours manually wiring houses for video
service.
“Service providers are facing a unique set of challenges as a
confluence of major trends transforms the way they do business.
While facing greater competition and price erosion pressures,
service providers are also realizing the need to map out a more
flexible and software-based future network state,” said Robert
Conger, associate vice president, management solutions and
portfolio strategy for ADTRAN. “We are enabling this transformation
by providing unique service orchestration capabilities that
leverage programmable network functionality and allow user-enabled
services via self-service captive portals. These streamlined
capabilities provide operators with critical time to market
advantages today while laying the groundwork for future revenue
opportunities coming from bandwidth on demand, the Internet of
Things, smart home and other cloud-based residential and business
services.”
The ADTRAN 424RG Wireless Residential Gateway ONT supports
802.11ac Wi-Fi with 4x4 MIMO delivery of data and
video. Combined with the ADTRAN Captive Portal the solutions
enable error-free, rapid service activation for Gigabit broadband
and business services. Both the ADTRAN 424RG Wireless Residential
Gateway ONT and the ADTRAN Captive Portal are generally
available.
