Fibernet selected the Adtran 10G Fiber Access Platform as its foundation to launch high-quality, competitive broadband services for internet, IPTV, telehealth and more.
“While Fibernet is new to this market, our leaders have deep experience in implementing superior broadband networks. We selected Adtran because of its experience in both the fiber access and altnet markets, and together we make a great team. We are extremely pleased with the support that Adtran has provided in our startup phase,” said Janne Ahola, CEO at Fibernet. “We understand that fiber is the only way to supply fast and reliable network connections that can scale with subscriber demands.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - (February 4, 2022)— ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), the leading provider of next-generation multi-gigabit fiber and fiber extension broadband access solutions, today announced that operators have increasingly selected its XGS-PON/10G-EPON portfolio to take their network capabilities to 10G. The ADTRAN technology and software-defined access approach have proven to be a fiber access game changer for the largest incumbent operators, regional service providers and community broadband providers in North America and Europe as each seeks a competitive edge when satisfying the growing demand for multi-gigabit business and residential services.

CHEC chose a portfolio of Adtran’s end-to-end fiber broadband solutions to deliver reliable, affordable internet that will support its community’s broadband needs today and is easily scalable to support their future demands and new applications.
Even before the COVID pandemic, only half of CHEC’s electric members had email access and even fewer were able to access any form of reliable internet from their homes. The need for connectivity intensified during work-from-home and remote learning periods, leaving many residents with no other choice but to move away to communities that offered high-speed broadband. There was an obvious and critical need for better infrastructure, so CHEC committed to build it. The co-op was awarded $4M through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) bidding process and worked with their expert partners to build the best fiber network to fit the community’s need.
CHEC found Adtran through Conexon, a rural fiber network design and construction management partner. The co-op is leveraging an end-to-end fiber broadband solution from Adtran that enables CHEC to deliver a managed subscriber experience for both residents and businesses. The Adtran global services supported solutions used for this deployment, included the Adtran 10G fiber access platform used to connect homes and businesses and the
