DT creates open, multi-vendor, 10G capable
fiber access network with fully virtualized, cloud-based
control
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking and subscriber experience
solutions, announced today that Deutsche Telekom (DT) has selected
ADTRAN’s SDX OLT solutions for deployment as part of its new and
innovative Access 4.0 network, as well as to be deployed in its
existing architectures along with ADTRAN’s industry-leading
SDN-enabled management system, Mosaic Cloud Platform. The goal of
DT’s Access 4.0 program is to create an open, programmable, easily
extensible and highly scalable access platform to cost-effectively
and rapidly deliver Gigabit services as a first edge-cloud use
case. As part of this partnership, Deutsche Telekom and ADTRAN have
aligned joint developments for the Access 4.0 project, based on
principles defined by the Open Networking Foundation’s SDN-Enabled
Broadband Access (SEBA) reference architecture.
“The Access 4.0 program constitutes a true paradigm shift, not
only in terms of technology, but also ecosystem, collaboration and
agility, through its ability to break vendor lock-in and reduce
time-to-market,” said Robert Soukup, Deutsche Telekom Senior
Program Manager. “A key to our success will be ADTRAN’s domain
experience, their history of working with DT on its large-scale
access initiatives and their commitment to delivering an open,
scalable and disaggregated solution.”
Access 4.0 is integrating software-defined networking (SDN),
disaggregated hardware components and network functions
virtualization (NFV) technologies in an open ecosystem to gain
flexibility while lowering overall deployment costs. In the first
phase, Access 4.0 will focus on DT’s fiber access network that can
scale to support a mix of residential, enterprise and backhaul
services. ADTRAN’s SDX OLT solutions integrate into Access 4.0’s
SEBA-based architecture to provide carrier-grade GPON and XGS-PON
service delivery in an open ecosystem. DT values ADTRAN’s FTTH and
SD-Access leadership, especially as related to its commitment to
build deployable solutions based on the Open Networking
Foundation’s VOLTHA hardware abstraction, which enable the operator
to rapidly pivot as the market evolves.
“DT’s Access 4.0 network is changing the way access networks and
services will be designed, developed and deployed for the next
several decades,” said Dr. Eduard Scheiterer, ADTRAN Senior Vice
President, Research and Development. “ADTRAN shares DT’s vision for
creating more advanced fiber access architectures that provide the
network economies of data centers and the service agility of cloud
providers. We believe this is how networks should be built and look
forward to helping DT achieve its network and market goals today,
as well as support future planned network expansion.”
