Telecom Lead Team: ADTRAN, a provider of networking solutions, announced Otelco
Mid-Missouri, a division of Otelco, has implemented ADTRAN’s Optical Networking
Edge (ONE) solution in its existing Total Access 5000 network infrastructure to
enable high bandwidth transport capabilities.
Otelco
selected ADTRAN to deliver a solution that would provide the scalability needed
to support mobile backhaul applications for 3G and 4G mobile access services
without the need for overlay network builds on top of their existing voice and
data services.
With ADTRAN’s
ONE solution, service providers like Otelco now have access to a single vendor
and architecture for blending broadband, business and backhaul services,” said
Mitch Fleming, regional vice president, service provider sales, ADTRAN.
This scalable
service separation enables Otelco to provide a dedicated Ethernet backbone for
Tier 1 wireless carriers.
ADTRAN’s ONE
solution is enabling Otelco to address both the growing mobile backhaul and
residential broadband markets from a single solution without sacrificing
quality of service across either set of applications.
With the ONE
solution, we can not only deliver service isolation for each individual mobile
network operator that may share a single cell site, but can do so in
conjunction with our existing broadband services and know that the service
level will remain high,” said Terry Schupp, network manager for Otelco
Mid-Missouri.
ONE and
ADTRAN’s Advanced Operational Environment (AOE) with Service Monitor allow
Otelco to utilize the web-based SLA monitoring tool and cell-optimized
wavelength service capabilities to ensure appropriate separation and provision
of each type of traffic as needed.
Recently, ADTRAN expanded its Fiber to the Home (FTTH) portfolio with the launch of Total
Access 1600 series. The new series is a family of 1RU form-factor optical line
terminals (OLTs) supporting either Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) or
Ethernet FTTH (Active Ethernet).
