ADTRAN accelerates time-to-market for Welcom
Net as they reinvigorate Helsinki’s underserved multi-tenet
business market
ADTRAN, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), the leading provider of
next-generation open networking and subscriber experience
solutions, today announced its deployment plans with Welcom Net, a
Finnish alternative network operator focused on utilizing ADTRAN’s
gigabit-ready, fiber extension portfolio to rapidly extend gigabit
services to business properties in Helsinki, regardless of the
building age. Welcom Net will leverage ADTRAN’s Mosaic access
domain SDN controller and orchestrator to manage the gigabit
services upgrade of existing customers and accelerate the
on-boarding of hundreds of enterprise Multi-Tenant Units (MTU) over
the next three years.
Welcom Net selected ADTRAN’s local reseller partner BCC
Solutions to manage the planning, installation and management of
this exciting network upgrade. BCC Solutions worked with Welcom Net
to select a broadband technology upgrade path that overcame the
logistical challenges and business disruption concerns of the
Helsinki MTU broadband market. This simplification was achieved by
leveraging ADTRAN’s industry-leading Gfast fiber extension
portfolio, affording Welcom Net a rapidly-deployable, gigabit-ready
broadband service that also transparently supports the original DSL
broadband services within the same building, further eliminating
upgrade interruptions.
“Our customers want to be able to fully participate in the
Gigabit Economy. For many that work in historic buildings downtown,
full fiber is not an option today, so we are finding alternative
technologies to support gigabit speeds,” said Pasi Lahtinen, ICT
Manager at Welcom Net. “With ADTRAN, we found the broadest range of
gigabit fiber extension solutions, and through our partner BCC
Solutions, we were quickly able to satisfy the gigabit demand
across all of our business customers. Rapidly providing the
bandwidth they need, along with our flexible, scalable services
infrastructure, we have created a disruptive foundation that will
support our growth today, tomorrow and into the future.”
“Gfast technology is reinventing the way gigabit broadband is
delivered in Finland,” said Mikko Kivilinna, Project Manager at BCC
Solutions. “The breadth of ADTRAN’s Gfast fiber extension solutions
is helping create meaningful opportunities for carriers across the
Nordics, to build networks the way they should be built – fast,
nimble and scalable.”
For Welcom Net, deploying the ADTRAN Gfast solution was simple
and straightforward. It offers high-value, high-bandwidth
services—previously only available over fiber—to buildings where
deploying fiber cables isn’t feasible due to historic property
requirements. Management of the new network service is provided by
the ADTRAN MosaicTM Cloud Platform, which unlocks control and
management functions from the underlying network elements, enabling
more flexible, agile service delivery across the entire access
network domain.
“ADTRAN is focused on helping all of our customers build their
best networks so that any customer, over any infrastructure, can
engage in our gigabit societies to fully leverage all the business,
communications and collaboration applications available in today’s
digital economy,” said Stuart Broome, Regional VP Sales at ADTRAN.
“ADTRAN’s leadership in delivering open, scalable and flexible
gigabit broadband solutions is changing the way networks are
designed, built and managed.”
