Space and power saving sealed, virtualized OLTs
uniquely support integration into existing DOCSIS subscriber
management systems
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking solutions, today introduced its
environmentally sealed, 10G-EPON virtual Remote-OLTs (virtual
R-OLTs), further broadening its software-defined access (SD-Access)
portfolio. These new elements provide cable MSOs the ability to
further execute on their 10Gbps FTTH and SD-Access strategies,
while seamlessly integrating into existing DOCSIS back office
provisioning and operational systems. This unique combination of
three critical and field proven capabilities— DOCSIS provisioning
of EPON (DPoETM), native SDN integration and remote outside plant
packaging—enables ADTRAN to capitalize on evolving distributed
access architecture (DAA) deployments as cable operators look to
leverage next-generation FTTH to enhance support for high-bandwidth
services.
“Now, more than ever before, the network impact of supporting
more bandwidth is demanding service providers make a significant
architectural shift. The emergence of low latency augmented and
virtual reality applications is also forcing providers, including
cable MSOs, to reevaluate their network infrastructure,” said
Rupert Wood, research director at Analysys Mason. “Distributed,
Remote-OLT access architectures, by moving FTTH electronics into
the outside plant, afford the operator a network that can support
much higher access speeds and subscriber capacity while also
alleviating head end space congestion.”
Traditional FTTH network growth required MSOs to overcome
capital, operational and regulatory hurdles, while requiring
time-consuming and costly permits for adding new fiber from the
headend, which slowed their ability to turn up services in a timely
fashion. DAA and R-OLTs alleviate many of these issues.
Furthermore, ADTRAN R-OLTs integrate field proven DPoE management
methods and Layer 3 functionality, like provisioning and routing,
running on specialized components.
Alternatively, the Layer 3 and other functionality can be
virtualized affording additional cost reduction benefits as the
R-OLT architecture is simplified further. The ADTRAN OLTs bridge
the management horizon with support of both DPoE management and
modern SDN control protocols allowing MSOs to effectively execute
over time their transition to virtualized, managed and orchestrated
SD-Access service architectures.
“ADTRAN’s market leadership in outside plant (OSP) product
design has enabled us to successfully deploy hundreds of thousands
of remote FTTx systems in many of the world’s harshest
environments,” said Hossam Salib, vice president of cable and
wireless strategy at ADTRAN. “Combining this unique OSP experience
with our field-proven, fully standards-compliant DPoETM solution
and our SD-Access leadership uniquely qualify ADTRAN to meet the
requirements of a range of evolving DAA strategies.”
ADTRAN Mosaic is facilitating the MSO community’s transition to
standards-based SD-Access through distributed, virtualized
energy-efficient 10Gbps fiber architectures. The ADTRAN virtual
R-OLTs portfolio of multi-port 10G-EPON devices reduces
time-to-market and subscriber connection costs by using the desired
FTTH and DAAs needed to effectively deliver higher-speed triple
play services. The ADTRAN 9504N R-OLT has seamlessly integrated
into existing DPoE systems while the SDX 6210-4 virtual R-OLT
supports the ability to shift costly Layer 3 processing from the
provider edge to the access network, resulting in a paradigm shift
in price and industry leading low power consumption for R-OLTs.
ADTRAN will showcase these differentiated solutions at Cable-Tec
EXPO in Denver, Colorado, on October 17-20, in Booth 2059 located
adjacent to the Events Lounge.
