"Our customers depend on the availability of our services and our ability to meet their bandwidth requirements," said Dan Steinike, plant supervisor, Wilson Communications. "The Total Access 5000 is one of the most flexible platforms on the market today. With the addition of these new video-oriented solutions, we know that we can deliver a high-bandwidth, high-availability access network architecture--regardless of whether we need to deliver those solutions over copper or fiber facilities."

The Total Access 5000 portfolio additions include:

Integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet: The Total Access 5000 supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet Rings via the ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) standard. This provides carriers with a hi-capacity, resilient carrier-class Ethernet ring architecture for the Total Access 5000. In addition to the ERPS capability, the ability to configure multiple 10G network interfaces provides carriers with unprecedented bandwidth delivery in support of FTTP and FTTN architectures.

HomePNA (HPNA) Enabled Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) Optical Network Terminals (ONT): Eliminating the costs associated with new in-home wiring for high-bandwidth services like IPTV, ADTRAN's Total Access 300 Series of HPNA3.1 enabled ONTs provides data rates up to 320 Mbps over existing in-home coaxial wiring, offering service providers the fastest and easiest way to deploy IPTV with no new wires.

Radio Frequency (RF) Enabled GPON ONTs: Allowing carriers to leverage their existing RF video headend, the Total Access 300 Series of RF-enabled ONTs offers a flexible mix of solutions. RF one-way path solutions are supported, as well as two integrated solutions with return path capabilities--support for the Scientific Atlanta Single Wire Return Device (SWRD) and the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) RF over Glass (RFoG) solution. The ADTRAN Total Access 300 Series SCTE RFoG ONTs enable two-way communications support for SCTE 55-1, 55-2 and DOCSIS, regardless of headend type.

Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) ONT: With an innovative ONT designed for multi-dwelling units, particularly "garden-style" apartment buildings, the Total Access 380 MDU ONT offers an integrated 1:4 fiber splitter, enhanced cable management, a common powering system (which allows a single UPS/BBU to be used to power all of the ONTs installed in the housing) and a flexible shelf system allowing individual ONT units to be installed or serviced without disrupting service to other customers. The enclosure supports all current ADTRAN ONT models, providing flexibility to support a mix of pure IPTV or RF video solutions from a single ONT housing.

VDSL2 FTTN Access Modules: In addition to a wide range of single-pair and bonded ADSL2+ solutions for IPTV service delivery, the addition of VDSL2 on the Total Access 5000 provides carriers with another service delivery option over existing copper infrastructure. Enabling data rates up to 100 Mbps per pair with optional VDSL2 Ethernet in the First Mile bonding, the Total Access 5000 offers two different solutions--a VDSL2 module with integrated POTS splitter and a COMBO VDSL2 module, which offers both integrated POTS and VDSL2 on the same line card, greatly simplifying outside plant deployments.

"Carriers are continuing to invest in the ultra-broadband network architectures required to deploy advanced video networks, and we are excited to be part of it," said Mike Martin, director of product management, ADTRAN Carrier Networks Division. "While the primary driver behind these advanced networks remains video, the large capital investment is driving service providers to leverage the network for more than just residential-based services--with business Ethernet and mobile backhaul being the primary access needs. With its wide variety of copper and fiber interfaces and robust Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, the Total Access 5000 was designed to support a fully integrated access infrastructure which is needed to meet the unique requirements of residential, business and mobile backhaul applications. This allows service providers to simplify their access networks through the deployment of a single platform capable of supporting a fully integrated access infrastructure."

With volume deployments in Tier 1, 2 and 3 carrier networks across the globe, the Total Access 5000 continues its rapid growth, giving carriers the flexibility to support advanced access architectures across both copper and fiber. The complete Total Access 5000 solution set will be on display at ADTRAN Booth #739 at the Telco TV 2009 Annual Conference and Expo, located at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, from November 10 - 12.

"As mobile operators continue transitioning toward higher-bandwidth mobile broadband technologies like Wi-MAX and LTE, advanced access options are critical to provide additional capacity and quality of service. However, just as critical is ensuring that support for existing networks is not sacrificed," said Jay Wilson, senior vice president and general manager, ADTRAN Carrier Networks Division. "ADTRAN has a comprehensive suite of carrier-proven mobile backhaul solutions with plans for continued innovation on the horizon. Our goal is to continue to build market leadership by offering the most flexible portfolio of mobile backhaul solutions on the market."

ADTRAN offers one of the industry's most comprehensive mobile backhaul portfolios anchored by the OPTI-6100 high-density, multi-service, optical access platform and the Total Access 5000 Multi-Service Access and Aggregation Platform. These solutions are designed to provide optimal performance, while reducing capex and ongoing operational expenses. The Total Access 5000 is unique in its ability to provide a common platform for a mix of residential broadband, business Ethernet and mobile backhaul services over both optical and copper access technologies. The OPTI-6100 is designed to meet small and large customer bandwidth needs and offers the industry's most flexible deployment options for optical ring-based access networks. This allows service providers to benefit from streamlined operational requirements with a single platform acting as a centralized traffic management, local switching, and service assurance platform.

ADTRAN's Mobile Backhaul portfolio also boasts a wide range of purpose-built network termination equipment (NTE), supporting native Ethernet and TDM pseudowire capabilities. Service providers can simplify operations and reduce time to market through common management, provisioning and troubleshooting - regardless of the physical media. The flexibility of these platforms, which are already deployed globally in support of these advanced access networks, enables carriers to maximize the number of different applications supported by single platforms, creating a fully integrated access infrastructure.
