HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--June 5, 2006--ADTRAN(R), Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading supplier of
network access equipment, today announced the addition of OC-48 and Ethernet
in the First Mile (EFM) capabilities to its OPTI(R)-6100 Multi-Service
Provisioning Platform (MSPP). The
OPTI-6100 now provides scalability from
OC-3 to OC-48, making it perfectly positioned to address virtually any
access or metro ring application. The new system enables delivery of
Ethernet, DS1, DS3, and optical services directly from OC-48 rings in the
compact
OPTI-6100 form factor, thereby minimizing cost and space
requirements. The OPTI-6100 offers the flexibility to add additional network
bandwidth, upgrade existing optical rings, and support Next-Generation
Ethernet services.
ADTRAN's addition of EFM to the platform provides
carriers with the means to host multiple bonded circuits and aggregate these
circuits into a single element, thus eliminating the need for multiple
stand-alone pieces of equipment. This increases network efficiency,
simplifies network support, leverages existing OPTI-6100 systems, and
reduces overall costs for carriers and their customers.
"Next-generation services are driving the demand for higher capacity
fiber rings and carriers are looking for cost-effective solutions to meet
these needs," said Eric Vallone, director of product management, ADTRAN
Carrier Networks Division. "This compact yet powerful platform offers the
converged service capability, functionality, and scalability carriers need
to address a variety of network topologies while minimizing deployment
costs."
