EMBARQ Logistics Now Stocking ADC OmniReach FTTX Products to Support End-To-End Solutions


MINNEAPOLIS --(Business Wire)-- ADC (NASDAQ:ADCT; www.adc.com) today announced that EMBARQ Logistics will begin carrying a larger inventory of its OmniReach(TM) products developed to support FTTX outside plant infrastructure deployments. EMBARQ Logistics is the deployment, distribution, and logistics division of Embarq Corporation (NYSE:EQ), and serves a vast customer base of telecommunications service providers.



FTTX technology allows service providers to more easily deliver voice, video and data products to their customers. The OmniReach products allow greater flexibility in managing FTTX technology to quickly generate revenue.

A significant ADC distributor for numerous product lines, EMBARQ Logistics is a key source for ADC's line of FTTX outside plant infrastructure equipment. Materials to be kept in stock include Multi-Port Service Terminals (MSTs), drop cables, splitter and splice trays in the OmniReach product line.


"The demand for FTTX products continues to increase as does the need for off-the-shelf shipments," said Brad Clark, vice president of Sales and Marketing for EMBARQ Logistics. "Our customers face growing competition from wireless and cable companies. We need to be able to quickly respond to their needs, and by adding the more ADC OmniReach product inventory, we will better meet that goal."

"FTTX deployments require increased fiber management, additional physical layer access, and must allow for future expansion and upgrades," said Rick Arsenault, vice president of Channels and OEM Sales for ADC. "Designed for operational efficiency and scalability, the OmniReach products provide service providers with reduced installation time resulting in faster network turn up intervals. ADC is very pleased to partner with EMBARQ Logistics which will enable them to deliver the latest technologies and provide superior service to their customers."

ADC's OmniReach FTTX infrastructure solutions offer telecommunications service providers flexibility in managing their FTTP and FTTN equipment, including the expensive central office-based electronics, used to transmit the signals to individual homes. This ability to optimize the infrastructure enables service providers to leverage their investment and quickly generate revenue.
