Darmstadt, Germany - July 18, 2017 - ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open networking solutions, today announced the start of lab testing of the latest innovations in the G.fast standard, 212MHz and coordinated dynamic time allocation (cDTA) together with Deutsche Telekom (DT). DT is evaluating these ultra-broadband technologies using Fibre-to-the-Building (FTTB) deployment models allowing the use of existing cable infrastructure within the home. This will allow the rapid deployment of ultra-fast and gigabit broadband services with minimal disruption. The low cost per subscriber connection pays directly into achieving European Commission’s Gigabit Society goals. ADTRAN demonstrated the new 212MHz G.fast standard, which doubles the usable spectrum. This doubling of the usable spectrum allows service providers to deliver gigabit rates over a single copper pair, enabling robust fibre-like service delivery all the way to the customer premise. In contrast to cable systems, the bandwidth of G.fast is dedicated and available for each customer. The tests, leveraging the first commercially available 212MHz DPU also demonstrated the second phase of DTA. cDTA, like the earlier iDTA feature, improves G.fast upstream performance by four to five times by dynamically balancing upstream and downstream capacity to match residential traffic patterns in real-time. cDTA also… Read More

Optical Beat Interference mitigation provides MSOs ability to scale fiber broadband without boxing them in with the need for centralized cabinet expense BERLIN--(May 30, 2017)—ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open networking solutions, today announced its Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG) solution with Optical Beat Interference (OBI) mitigation technology. This RFoG solution accelerates an MSO’s FTTH initiatives by supporting the reuse of existing CATV assets within both the headend and home. This greatly extends the return on investment cycle while smoothing the transition from hybrid fiber coax and CATV-based triple play to Gigabit FTTH and IPTV-ready deployment models. As RFoG deployments increase in density, the likelihood of OBI occurring greatly increases. OBI is caused by simultaneous upstream optical transmissions by multiple cable modems leading to impaired reception at all upstream frequencies impacting key applications like voice, live video and social media. “The need to support reliable voice and ultra-fast broadband is key to securing lucrative triple play revenues for MSOs in a changing competitive landscape,” said Erik Keith, principal analyst, GlobalData. “As MSOs look to build out their fiber infrastructure to support rich video content, ADTRAN RFoG OBI solutions allow them to deliver the requisite customer experience while… Read More

New SD-Access innovation acts as bandwidth valve; auto-adjusting upstream and downstream ratios in response to user application behaviour, accelerating Gigabit services LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2016-- ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open networking solutions, today announced the availability of a new capability for G.fast deployments – Dynamic Time Allocation (DTA) – that allows subscribers to maximize the total bandwidth of a G.fast connection by transmitting data upstream or downstream intelligently to provide a fibre to the home (FTTH) user experience. ADTRAN has been demonstrating this innovation to operators globally for low crosstalk G.fast environments, providing operators an alternative to installing Cat 6, Cat5e or fibre optic cable to provide symmetric Gigabit data rates. DTA disrupts the concept of Time Division Duplex (TDD) used by G.fast and other broadband access technologies which, until now, have been based on the “set-and-forget” configuration of uplink and downlink ratios (either symmetric or some degree of asymmetric) at the G.fast distribution point unit (DPU).
