ADTRAN on Thursday said it quintupled its VDSL port shipments in the EMEA region over the last 18 months.
Eduard Scheiterer, senior vice president and managing director for international markets, is leading the global market expansion of ADTRAN.
Tom Stanton, chairman and CEO of ADTRAN, said: “Service providers across EMEA and the rest of our international markets are continuing to see premium broadband services as an integral component of their future opportunities.”
ADTRAN is investing in its global solutions portfolio to provide the necessary innovations to move the marketplace into the next generation of broadband access and networking solutions.
The company strategy is to continue engagement with new and existing customers around their next-generation access requirements with a view towards enhancing their vectoring capabilities as well as future gigabit broadband options.
ADTRAN’s Frequency Division Vectoring (FDV) technology enables carriers across EMEA to significantly broaden their G.fast addressable market in the region. By enabling both G.fast and VDSL2 vectoring to better coexist, service providers are able to preserve investments in their Fiber-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) infrastructure.
The company claims that FDV doubles data rates and increases the reach of intermediate-rate services – between 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps – which allows for delivery of broadband to 80 percent more subscribers, said ADTRAN.
