Telecom Lead America: Farmers Mutual Telephone Company
(FMTC), a full service communications services provider in Northwest Ohio, has
selected ADTRAN and delivering wireless services and cell site backhaul for
Tier 1 mobile operators based on ADTRAN’s Optical Networking Edge (ONE)
solution.
With the ADTRAN ONE solution, FMTC has the scalability
needed to support future 4G backhaul growth in services, customers and network
size without the need for costly, capital-intensive network overlay builds to
existing voice and data services.
The service isolation capability of ADTRAN’s ONE solution
was an important feature in our decision making process. To remain competitive
in our market we need the ability to add new services while maintaining the
stringent SLAs of both the new and existing service offers,” said Eric Damman,
general manager at Farmers Mutual Telephone Company.
In addition, FMTC has also announced that it is ensuring the
quality of service (QoS) for all customer services by utilizing
ADTRAN’sAdvanced Operational Environment (AOE) to monitor and optimize
wavelength service capabilities which guarantees and provisions each type of
network service as needed.
As a partner in Ridgeville Telephone’s 10G fiber optic
transport network, FMTC will streamline backhaul service deployments using the
wavelength and Ethernet switching separation features of the ADTRAN ONE
solution.
For today’s service providers, supporting new backhaul
services with ADTRAN’s ONE alleviates the need to build a parallel network
alongside the existing infrastructure just to preserve QoS – thereby saving
valuable resources and reducing new services time to market,” said Mitch
Fleming, regional vice president, service provider sales, ADTRAN.
FMTC said that it can maximize its network assets through a
single platform and and grow the addressable market opportunity in the region.
