Upgraded infrastructure and intelligent
management tools redefine connectivity and customer experience for
previously underserved homes and businesses
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation innovative fiber and fiber extension broadband
access solutions, today announced that, through its Enabling
Communities, Connecting Lives program, Townes Telecommunications
has selected ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 (TA5000) fiber access
platform to better serve residential and business customers. Townes
Telecommunications is deploying the multi-service ADTRAN TA5000
equipped with GPON and VDSL2 technology to enhance broadband
services for all seven of the incumbent local exchange carriers
that it operates across six states. In addition, Townes
Telecommunications will utilize ADTRAN’s Mosaic Subscriber Insight
software analytics solution to reduce operational costs, drive new
service adoption and increase customer loyalty.
“Serving rural markets, we take great pride in delivering
reliable and affordable connectivity solutions as our customers are
our neighbors and community partners,” said Buster Brady, Director
of Plant Operations at Townes Telecommunications. “As a local
legacy provider, we listen to the needs of our customers and
provide them with communications services that open the door to a
world of possibilities for both work and play. ADTRAN was the ideal
partner. Its unmatched expertise and broad product portfolio help
us to serve 2,780 square miles with premium broadband
services.”
The following ILECs and their communities will benefit from this
upgrade:
- Choctaw Telephone Company in Southwest Missouri
- Oregon Farmers Mutual Telephone in Northwest Missouri
- Haxtun Telephone in Northeastern Colorado
- Mokan Dial in Eastern Kansas
- NEFCOM in Northeast Florida
- Pymatuning Telephone in Western Pennsylvania
- Walnut Hill Telephone Company in Southwest Arkansas
Townes Telecommunications’ network upgrade will create the
capacity to support a wide range of smart home, gaming and video
streaming services. ADTRAN was able to help Townes
Telecommunications streamline the network planning and deployment
process by delivering the fiber and fiber extension products needed
to build the best infrastructure based on the specific challenges
and market opportunities each of its ILECs face. With Mosaic
Subscriber Insight, part of ADTRAN’s Mosaic Subscriber Suite
all-in-one subscriber insight and management software, Townes
Telecommunications can manage each of these networks individually
and as a unified whole from the access network all the way into the
customer’s home or business. Townes Telecommunications will have
access to subscriber behavior and usage data, the ability to
identify broadband upsell opportunities and identify potential
network interruptions to improve the overall customer broadband
experience. This allows the service provider to proactively
identify subscribers that are provisioned at a higher speed than
what they are billed for, address network concerns, increase
subscriber satisfaction and generate new revenue streams.
“ADTRAN is enabling service providers to answer the needs of
their customers by delivering broadband to positively impact
economies and quality of life in the communities they serve,” said
Brian Efimetz, Regional Vice President of Service Provider Sales at
ADTRAN. “The span of Townes Telecommunications’ network requires a
variable approach and its deployment serves as a testament that our
flexible range of solutions empowers all service providers,
regardless of environment, technology or size, to build their
networks to meet their subscribers’ needs without limitations.”
