Trial completion yields positive results for
precedent setting Day-1 NG-PON2 interoperability
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking solutions, participated in
Verizon’s recent interoperability trial of NG-PON2 technology. The
trial, which featured several different technology suppliers and
was aligned with Verizon’s Open OMCI specification (defining the
OLT-to-ONT interface and will be shared with the industry in the
next few months), proved that multi-vendor solutions for both the
optical line termination (OLT) on the service provider end and the
optical network terminal (ONT) on the customer end can greatly
expand the bandwidth delivered without impacting existing broadband
subscribers on the same fiber line. This trial further showcases
the improved service scalability and operational elasticity that
NG-PON2 provides. This includes the highest level of bandwidth
flexibility, maximizing SDN/NFV network automation and allowing for
the rapid creation and delivery of customer services.
The trial featured the ADTRAN Mosaic™ Software Defined
(SD-Access) solution that is specifically designed to reduce the
overall cost of operations when delivering converged 10G services
through the highly-scalable ADTRAN SDX network elements and SDN
orchestration from the ADTRAN Mosaic Cloud Platform. The inherent
scale and agility of multi-wavelength NG-PON2 access technology
offers unprecedented fiber distribution and network flexibility,
supporting fiber network auto-grooming and reducing the need for
expensive truck rolls. By integrating NG-PON2 into the ADTRAN
Mosaic SD-Access architecture, further cost reductions are afforded
to the service provider through innovative subscriber edge tunable
(SET) optics, lowering the capital cost per customer. Additionally,
the SDN optimization allows for the rapid delivery of services and
improves the integrity of the network while refining the overall
quality of experience. This uniquely open, programmable and
scalable implementation of this highly-elastic multi-10G access
technology matches the needs of carriers like Verizon by
accelerating their transition to web-scale operation.
NG-PON2 gives carriers like Verizon a foundation to provide
customers with upload and download speeds of up to 80 gigabits per
second. The results of the trial allow companies to meet increasing
traffic demands by easily increasing the capacity of their existing
network investment.
“Increased network integrity and improved application
quality-of-experience differentiate NG-PON2 as a cost-effective
fiber broadband solution. As the industry continues to move towards
more open, programmable and scalable architectures, ADTRAN is
helping carriers like Verizon make this critical business
transition,” said Robert Conger, ADTRAN’s associate vice president,
Cloud and Portfolio Strategy. “ADTRAN is committed to advancing
NG-PON2 as the premier mechanism to cost-effectively scale service
delivery and we look forward to continuing our work with Verizon to
move this market forward.”
