ADTRAN Streamlines Backhaul Service Deployment in ONE Platform

Looking to eliminate the need for capital-intensive overlay builds to support 4G backhaul services, ADTRAN has announced that carriers can now leverage its Optical Networking Edge (ONE) portfolio and Advanced Operational Environment (AOE).

Allowing each type of traffic to be guaranteed and provisioned as needed, ADTRAN offers web-based SLA monitoring tool and cell-optimized wavelength service capabilities. This enables ADTRAN's customers to get the most out of their network assets and grow their overall addressable market opportunity in both mobile and residential backhaul applications. 

“We developed ONE to solve the bandwidth bottleneck at the edge of the network and AOE to change the management paradigm to focus on the service rather than the equipment,” said Robert Conger, ADTRAN Carrier Ethernet product line manager, in a statement. “By leveraging these two solutions, broadband and mobile backhaul carriers can increase their competitiveness in these two strategic markets by offering high performance, scalable services at the lowest cost of ownership.”

Enabling carriers to cost-effectively capitalize on both the growing mobile backhaul and residential broadband business opportunities without risking quality of service (QoS) issues symptomatic of many multi-service solutions, total Access 5000 ONE system delivers both wavelength and Ethernet switching separation. By delivering MEF-certified, wavelength separated Ethernet services to residential customers, business customers and cell sites over the same network infrastructure, the ADTRAN ONE solution eliminates QoS impacting network bottlenecks, the company stated in a press release.

Recently, the company expanded its Optical Networking Edge portfolio, which allows service providers to simplify service delivery and network operations. With the introduction of a right-sized, compact Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (mini-ROADM) system-on-a-blade, multi-service Optical Transport Network (OTN,ITU-T G.709) Switchponder, and tunable pluggable optics, these new ONE capabilities provide agile photonics and enhanced service delivery. These advancements provide operators with flexible and efficient network architecture.
