[November 22, 2009] Adtran Debuts Line of Video Solutions Tweet Nov 17, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Adtran, Inc., a supplier of networking solutions, has announced the availability of a new line of solutions for the Total Access 5000 Multi-Service Access Platform (MSAP) targeted at delivering video services. According to Adtran, these new solutions are optimized for Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) and Fiber to the Node (FTTN) architectures. "Our customers depend on the availability of our services and our ability to meet their bandwidth requirements," said Dan Steinike, plant supervisor, Wilson Communications. "With the addition of these new video-oriented solutions, we know that we can deliver a high-bandwidth access network architecture-regardless of whether we need to deliver those solutions over copper or fiber facilities." The Total Access 5000 Multi-Service Access Platform solutions 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 bandwidth delivery in support of FTTP and FTTN architectures. HomePNA (HPNA) Enabled Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) Optical Network Terminals (ONT): Adtran's Total Access 300 Series of HPNA3.1 enabled ONTs provides data rates up to 320 Mbps over existing in-home coaxial wiring. Radio Frequency (RF) Enabled GPON ONTs: 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 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 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. VDSL2 FTTN Access Modules: In addition to a 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.
