Blue Valley and Adtran Bring Economic Possibilities to Rural Kansas [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Adtran reported that as part of its Enabling Communities, Connecting Lives program, it is helping Blue Valley Tele- Communications (BVTC) advance strategic Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) initiatives to secure the economic future of nearly 7500 residential and business customers. According to a release, leveraging Adtran's broadband portfolio, BVTC is taking a forward-thinking approach to reinventing its network infrastructure in northeastern Kansas. Based on Adtran's Total Access 5000 with Optical Networking Edge (ONE) solution, BVTC is building out both its access and transport networks from a single platform to more easily evolve, change and grow their network so they can deliver the services local communities need to remain competitive in a global economy. Not only are businesses in northeastern Kansas driving commerce growth via BVTC's voice, video and data services, but local schools are participating in distance learning to better educate their students.
