Open, programmable network elements deliver
network scale, agility and broadband service velocity
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking solutions, today announced the
first set of network elements to take SDN beyond principal
framework to actual product implementation in broadband access
networks. These Software Defined Access (SD-Access) network
elements leverage the ADTRAN Mosaic© architecture to accelerate
service providers’ path to open, programmable and scalable
networks. SD-Access architectures allow service providers to
operate at web-scale, supporting expanded service flexibility and
velocity.
ADTRAN’s programmable network elements leverage agile, real-time
service configuration typically found in the data center and apply
it to the service provider’s access network. ADTRAN’s end-to-end
suite of software defined network elements, the SDX Series,
includes the following:
- High-density Passive Optical Network
Optical Line Terminals (PON OLTs)
- Fiber-To-The-Distribution Point
(FTTdp), leveraging copper and coax
- IP/Ethernet aggregation, fabric and
Carrier Ethernet 2.0 access switches/routers
- Highly-programmable customer devices
such as residential gateways, Wi-Fi Access Points and virtual CPE
that together span the entire access network from cloud to
subscriber edge
By deploying the SDN-native SDX portfolio in concert with a
cloud platform, such as ADTRAN Mosaic, service providers can
realize data center economies and agility in their broadband and
business services access networks. Aligned closely with ON.Lab’s
CORD initiative, ADTRAN’s SDX network solutions portfolio benefits
directly from the expanding community of application developers
leveraging the open architecture.
“Service providers are building networks with high
scalability, availability and performance so they can more easily
keep up with bandwidth intensive applications. These
requirements are challenging—service providers need flexible, open
systems and platforms in order to build agile networks that can
keep up with customer expectations,” said Lee Doyle, principal
analyst at Doyle Research. “Programmable network elements, like
ADTRAN’s, are critical to a service provider’s ability to
transform service delivery across residential, mobile and
enterprise markets.”
“ADTRAN is leading agile network solutions development. The SDX
series of natively SDN-controlled access devices will enable
operators to fast track the deployment of fully automated,
web-scale networks,” said Robert Conger, associate vice president,
cloud and portfolio strategy, ADTRAN. “Service providers can
rapidly create, deploy and upgrade applications independently for
increased operational efficiencies, regardless of device,
technology or service. This leads to more nimble business models,
service innovations and improved revenue.”
ADTRAN will demonstrate its Mosaic architecture with
programmable network elements at Broadband World Forum today in
London. For more information on the ADTRAN Mosaic platform, please
