Iowa service provider gains the flexibility and
scale needed to create additional revenue streams and expand
network reach
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation innovative fiber and fiber extension broadband
access solutions, today announced that ATC Communications (ATC) has
selected ADTRAN to modernize its existing residential fiber
broadband network and expand into new markets with new types of
fiber services. The ADTRAN Total Access 5000 (TA5000) fiber access
platform will allow ATC to deliver multi-gigabit, symmetrical fiber
services to business customers for the first time in its 100 years
of operation. In addition to expanding its revenue-generating
services, the service provider can leverage the TA5000 fiber access
platform to upgrade existing residential subscribers who require
multi-gigabit speeds.
To expand the reach of its network, ATC needed a more flexible
and scalable services infrastructure than its legacy Active
Ethernet (AE) platform could provide. Supporting both modern
passive optical networking (PON) technologies and AE services, the
TA5000 platform eases the migration of existing residential
subscribers. It uses high capacity XGS-PON technology and can
converge multi-gigabit services delivery for both residential and
business services onto a common fiber network. This advanced
capability uniquely met ATC’s service creation and operational
flexibility requirements allowing them to easily add new business
services to its portfolio and expand into new geographic markets,
with a faster ROI compared to legacy active ethernet options.
“ATC is proud to be locally owned and operated, and as we look
to grow our business, network and service portfolio, we need
partners that value the same level of prompt and reliable service
we adhere to since our business started in 1904,” said Jerry
Spaight, General Manager at ATC. “ADTRAN was the right partner for
ATC because they offer flexibility and scalability we can trust. We
can quickly make changes to our network and it’s easy to expand our
coverage area. This gives us peace of mind that we’ll be able to
deliver our same exceptional level of customer service as we build
new relationships in new and bigger neighborhoods.”
ATC will first extend its network into Southwest Cedar Rapids
where nearly 300 manufacturing facilities are located, including
well-known food, aviation and national defense brands. Using its
more scalable PON technology, the service provider will launch a
suite of high-speed business services to the region, like phone,
SIP Trunking, PBX solutions, dedicated internet access (DIA) and
remote office connectivity. Additionally, as more employees and
students operate in work-from-home and remote-learning
environments, ATC can quickly scale to deliver gigabit speeds to
its existing local subscribers in rural communities, as well as new
residential neighborhoods in Cedar Rapids.
“ADTRAN is proud to help service providers, like ATC, accelerate
network deployments and strengthen service capabilities so they can
empower rural America with new connections and opportunities,” said
Josh Bailey, Regional Vice President of Sales at ADTRAN.
“Connectivity plays an essential role in advancing local economies
and supporting remote learning, work and healthcare. We’re
dedicated to supporting these service providers as they connect
their communities with capacity-rich services, as well as increase
competitiveness and their bottom line.”

rural service providers, like ATC, to leverage broadband to create
new opportunities for their communities. To learn more, visit
