ADTRAN’s domain expertise and industry
leadership in vectoring solutions enables network operators to ramp
100Mbps service offerings to meet market demands
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking solutions, announced that it has
shipped its 10 millionth vectoring port as network operators in the
U.S. and Europe look to maximize any and all paths to ultra
broadband service delivery. Crossing this milestone demonstrates
how ADTRAN’s industry-leading access portfolio is having an
immediate and long-term impact as networks scale and users demand
increased capacity at work, home and play. ADTRAN’s market
leadership has grown over the past four quarters as the company
shipped now more DSL and VDSL2 vectoring ports in North America
than all other vendors combined. VDSL2 vectoring is key to network
operators’ broadband strategy to deliver 100Mbps services using
their existing DSL infrastructure that may only provide 10Mbps
service today. Ideal for urban deployments and multi-dwelling
units, vectoring presents a scalable, highly leverageable approach
to delivering ten times the DSL capacity, creating a truly
immersive consumer experience that millennials and other tech-savvy
consumers crave.
“To meet our customers’ broadband needs, we continue to innovate
and provide higher speeds using both fiber and copper-based
solutions. Having a proven technology that we can leverage with our
current network infrastructure is ideal,” said Aamir Hussain, EVP
and CTO for CenturyLink. “ADTRAN’s vectoring solutions help us
maximize our network broadband speeds to meet the current and
future needs of our customers.”
Vectoring boosts the installed network performance by increasing
service speeds to 100Mbps using VDSL2 vectoring and to over 300Mbps
using higher spectrum Super-Vectoring. More service providers are
turning to this technology to sell high-speed services when
time-to-market or economic hurdles prevent the deployment of new
fiber. This network capability is becoming more critical as new
guidelines in Europe and the U.S. change and become mandated for
what bandwidth speeds constitute the definition of competitive
broadband service.
“As regulatory commissions in the U.S. and Europe change the
definition of broadband, vectoring technology is allowing carriers
to achieve these higher speeds within their existing
infrastructure. According to our research, VDSL2 vectoring
shipments continue to accelerate, accounting for a growing portion
of overall VDSL2 shipments each quarter,” said Teresa Mastrangelo,
founder of Broadbandtrends. “Vectoring provides operators with the
opportunity to offer FTTH-like speeds over copper lines, while
providing the flexibility necessary to address the immediate
time-to-market, competitive and regulatory challenges they
currently confront.”
“ADTRAN’s vectoring solution is by far our fastest growing
technology segment, shipping 10 million vectoring ports since
introducing the solution to market and putting ADTRAN at the
forefront of a technology that is quickly gaining worldwide
adoption,” said Jay Wilson, senior vice president, technology and
strategy for ADTRAN. “Service providers require the flexibility we
provide to build the type of network that fits customers’ demands
and business goals. By making it easier for service providers to
leverage their current assets, ADTRAN ensures a smoother migration
path from existing copper networks to full ultra broadband
deployments across the globe.”
