Openreach has selected Adtran’s SDX Series of optical line terminals (OLT)s and Mosaic Cloud Platform to help ramp up its full fibre deployment in line with the goals outlined in its Fibre First programme.
The GSMA, organisers of MWC Barcelona, have taken the decision to cancel the 2020 event due to the ongoing global fears over coronavirus.
UK broadband network operator, Zzoomm has switched on its fastest full-fibre broadband service in Henley-on-Thames.
Adtran has released its SDX 8110 series of business switches.
Work has started to hone an idea from Google Fiber to increase the reach and number of customers served per fibre of FTTH services. Andy Extance explains
Community Fibre has selected Adtran as its technology partner to deliver 10G residential and business services in the UK.
Optical access equipment specialist Adtran has expanded its software-defined access (SD-Access) portfolio with an environmentally sealed and compact 10G-EPON virtual remote optical line terminal (R-OLT) unit.
Aimed at cable operators looking to upgrade their networks with fibre to the home and distributed access architectures (DAA), these new elements make it possible for them to implement the latest technologies, while seamlessly integrating into their existing DOCSIS back office provisioning and operational systems.
Adtran has announced that US operator CenturyLink is using its virtualised optical line terminal (OLT) in a field trial of next-generation access services.
This is the first US deployment of a disaggregated software-defined access (SD-Access) system, the vendor claims. The virtualised OLT can be programmed to deliver different technologies – in this case XGS-PON and NG-PON2 – from the same hardware, creating a more flexible, manageable and scalable access network infrastructure.
Call Flow wants to make a name for itself as the first operator in the UK to offer symmetric multi-gigabit access speeds.
The alternative broadband operator has been building out 100Mb/s fibre-to-the cabinet-based services across Southern England via sub-loop unbundling. To allow services to scale further, it has now decided to adopt a fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) strategy based on the XGS-PON architecture.
To this end, Call Flow has chosen XGS-PON equipment from US optical access systems provider Adtran.
HUNTSVILLE, AL – ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open networking solutions, today announced that the Board of Directors has appointed Gregory McCray, CEO of Alphabet’s Access Company, the Alphabet subsidiary that oversees Google Fiber, as a director. Mr. McCray’s extensive background in driving the connected future will be a tremendous asset to ADTRAN’s Board as the company continues to focus on expanding Gigabit broadband speeds to support the broader demands of smart cities, the Internet of Things and software-defined networking.

A look at how the kind of full-fibre infrastructure that will be essential to support 5G can be realised in line with roll-out targets
The Covid-19 pandemic has and continues to affect every-day life throughout the world. In the optical communications industry, the first obvious signs were when events began to postpone, cancel and reschedule.
After more than a decade’s work, the prospect of full quantum networks exploiting entangled photons is drawing closer. That’s thanks to the work of researchers like Hee Su Park from the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS).
