Global service providers proving the business
case for G.fast-powered Gigabit services
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation networking solutions, today announced that it has
G.fast ultra-broadband trials underway with service providers in
Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. The trials demonstrate that
G.fast is moving beyond a technology concept toward a commercial
reality supported by a portfolio of fibre-to-the-distribution point
(FTTdp) environmentally sealed platforms. ADTRAN’s G.fast solutions
are helping service providers address the unique and varied
deployment scenarios encountered where fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) is
cost prohibitive.
G.fast technology provides service providers with an
economically feasible means to accelerate premium services to the
broadest target market possible. The ADTRAN 500G Series
enables service providers to maximize bandwidth from their existing
infrastructure, accelerating the availability of ultra-broadband
services and the future game-changing applications they enable.
“G.fast FTTdp is an ideal solution to offer ultrafast broadband
speeds to our customers, reducing installation impacts and costs of
FTTH,” said Andrea Calvi, responsible for IP Networks, at Telecom
Italia. “We were pleased to have had ADTRAN demonstrate a
real-world FTTdp solution based on the G.fast standard.”
“The breadth and geographical reach of our G.fast trials
demonstrates the market’s appetite for this technology, as
operators look to push toward Gigabit speeds in evolutionary steps
with rapid ROI,” said Dr. Eduard Scheiterer, senior vice president
and managing director, international markets for ADTRAN. “We expect
many of these progressive operators to begin finalizing their
G.fast rollout strategies and procedures in readiness for the
general availability of commercial G.fast solutions in 2015.”
ADTRAN is demonstrating its latest G.fast solutions at Stand E30
at Broadband World Forum, Oct 21–23, in Amsterdam. The
demonstration features reverse powering and installation variants
required to ensure the success of future FTTdp service
architectures.
