SDN is addressing the need for programmable and automated network environments for accelerated service creation and delivery. To support new revenue generation, subscriber applications are becoming virtual network functions (VNF), residing in the cloud or data centers versus static function hardware devices. These cloud-based applications are user activated from self-service web portals, eliminating the need for truck rolls and technician support during service delivery. ADTRAN is leveraging this software approach to fully support network programmability and automate service delivery through a natural extension of its longstanding solution strategy of providing increased service agility and operational efficiency.

Recent surveys have shown the momentum is just beginning. NTCA- The Rural Broadband Association released a survey stating 85 percent of responding service providers indicate they have long-term fiber deployment strategies. In the past 12 months, ADTRAN has witnessed firsthand the positive impact communities have enjoyed from these deployments. Some key benefits include:

Staying at the forefront of the technology boom in Tennessee, United Communications is proactively deploying fiber to residential and business customers. Working with United Communications, the town of Chapel Hill is turning to Gigabit speeds as the foundation of a new possible satellite campus for a local community college. Gigabit will support the bandwidth needed for collaboration tools, so residents can avoid traveling to another city for educational purposes. The new virtual community college campus is expected to open doors to new opportunities that may not have been possible before Gigabit broadband. Businesses are also finding that the robust Gigabit bandwidth is creating new ways to recruit and engage employees with telecommuting possibilities that may not have existed otherwise. Now, remote employees are no longer hindered by slower home internet speeds and in some cases even have a broadband advantage over the home office.

“High-speed Internet is crucial for both instructional learning and testing. Teachers are gravitating towards online over traditional pen and paper lesson plans, making the demand for Gigabit broadband greater than ever,” said Tim Snyder, CTO of META Solutions. “By working closely with Consolidated Electric Cooperative and ADTRAN, Ohio school districts now have the necessary speeds to meet online learning demands along with new and future mandates.”

“ADTRAN’s NG-PON2 implementation has the potential to advance the adoption of 10G FTTP for residential markets by three to five years, while its increased capacity will double the life of the network,” said Jeff Heynen, research director for Broadband Access and Pay TV at Infonetics Research, now part of IHS Inc. “NG-PON2’s initial rollout was thought to primarily benefit premium business and backhaul services because of its much higher cost over GPON FTTP solutions. ADTRAN will dramatically change this dynamic, delivering 10G NG-PON2 solutions at costs approaching today’s volume-priced 2.5G GPON. This allows service providers to affordably scale next-gen PON deployments and provide flexibility without compromising future capabilities.”
