New CPE enables gigabit service delivery for
residential, enterprise and backhaul use cases over a converged
wireless mesh network
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking and subscriber experience
solutions, announced today the general availability of the ADTRAN
MetNet 60GHz high-powered version 2 (HPv2) CPE. This second
generation CPE greatly improves the economics and time-to-market
for extending gigabit symmetric services beyond the reach of the
existing fiber network, whether it is a residential broadband,
enterprise, backhaul or smart city use case.

“To fully address and bridge the digital divide, the market
needs solutions that are not gated by the underlying physical
infrastructure,” said Ron Westfall, Senior Analyst with Futurum
Research. “We are seeing the tipping point of fixed wireless
services becoming an invaluable compliment to fiber and fiber
extension networks in terms of reaching any potential residential
or business customer with gigabit capable services, no matter where
they are located.”
Service providers and enterprise customers can now expand
gigabit service range and reach via license-free fixed wireless
networks with the ADTRAN MetNet 60GHz HPv2 CPE. Developed using
technology built by Cambridge Communication Systems (CCS), it uses
a 90-degree phased array antenna that can now extend gigabit
symmetric services out to 500 meters beyond the mesh nodes. This
market-leading capability provides twice the reach over legacy
gigabit mesh solutions currently in the market. This expanded reach
translates to 50-70% fewer mesh nodes needed to provide gigabit
coverage, which eliminates much of the capital and operational
costs, as well as integration time required to push fixed wireless
networks deeper into new residential markets and easily expand
business services.
The ADTRAN MetNet 60GHz solution, inclusive of both CPE and mesh
nodes, delivers on the promise of a robust, self-optimizing
millimeter wave (mmWave) gigabit fixed wireless network. It is
designed to reach residential, campus, smart city and business
customers, as well as support backhaul/midhaul small cell
densification initiatives. The next-generation CPE significantly
reduces the cost per subscriber connected, offering a small form
factor while retaining maximum link performance. The mesh nodes
automatically form multi-gigabit backhaul links to neighboring
nodes, which enables multi-gigabit drop capability at the mesh node
or to aggregate the subtending gigabit CPE. Additionally, mesh and
CPE radios can be easily added without RF engineering to further
simplify network scalability. Multiple mesh nodes can be connected
into the core network at different 1GE or 10GE fiber point of
presence locations to offer additional network capacity and
improved resiliency.
“The ADTRAN MetNet 60GHz solution is an innovative
self-configuring, self-optimizing and self-healing solution that
makes it simple to deploy as well as maintain. This affords new
broadband service entrants with lean operations and provides those
with limited wireless expertise the ability to rapidly and
cost-effectively deploy an ultra-low latency, gigabit-capable
access network,” said Michael Kletchko, Head of Market Development
for Fixed Wireless Access Solutions at ADTRAN. “As operators look
to build their best broadband network, ADTRAN is helping to
eliminate the digital divide by making gigabit services available
over any infrastructure.”
