OREANDA-NEWS. July 25, 2016. A
DTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of open networking
solutions, has been undertaking field trials of its range of G.fast FTTx
solutions for incumbent operator Bezeq in one of Israel’s largest
cities. The trial involves a variety of copper loop lengths and Internet
speeds delivered on ADTRAN’s unique architecture, which offers
flexibility with chipset vendor selection and port densities. This will
enable Bezeq to best plan how it will exploit its widespread existing
infrastructure to deliver a new generation of ultrafast and Gigabit
broadband services with the fastest possible time to market.
The ADTRAN 500G series of G.fast solutions is exceeding expectations in
advanced trials with more than 60 operators worldwide, delivering
superior reach and speed within a pioneering, fully-sealed footprint for
Fiber-to-the-distribution point (FTTdp) and FTTCab deployments. Bezeq is
currently trialling the 8-port and 16-port ADTRAN distribution point
units (DPUs), which are both physical layer and chipset agnostic,
ensuring rapid service provisioning and activation.
“Bezeq is committed to delivering infrastructure for a Gigabit society,
and it’s clear how G.fast will play a vital role in accomplishing this
for many areas throughout Israel, alongside traditional FTTP approaches
where required,” said Dr.
Eduard Scheiterer, senior vice president,
research and development, ADTRAN. “The path to delivering transformative
broadband is made even more compelling as Fiber-to-the-Cabinet
deployment models are supported with an increase in G.fast equipment
port density and enhanced G.fast chipset performance, permitting
substantial asset re-use and accelerating the pace of rollout.”
ADTRAN’s G.fast solutions are built using open, Software-Defined Network
(SDN) principles to ensure rapid plug and play capability within
multi-vendor FTTx infrastructures. ADTRAN’s collaboration with standards
bodies such as the Broadband Forum are creating open APIs and interfaces
that accelerate network integration, avoiding vendor lock-in and
liberating operators in their procurement decisions. Thanks to the broad
range of G.fast based product offerings, operators like Bezeq can
benefit from the fastest possible time to market for the next wave of
ultrafast broadband services by repurposing existing cabinet locations.
“Our trials have proven G.fast to be both an innovative and a pragmatic
broadband technology that creates new possibilities thanks to its
flexible deployment capabilities. We are pleased that ADTRAN has
enabled us to accelerate the delivery of new transformative Gigabit
broadband services,” said Bezeq CTIO,
Yaki Zano. “Bezeq’s and ADTRAN’s
continued strategic and collaborative partnership is cementing both
companies’ commitment to delivering access solutions and technology that
best serve customers in Israel.”
The close strategic collaboration between the companies, including
recent G.fast and executive workshops at ADTRAN’s worldwide headquarters
in Huntsville, Alabama, and in New York City, is resulting in the
delivery of a world-class access strategy for the Israeli market. Zano
concludes, “As exciting new capabilities develop, G.fast and other
access solutions such as ADTRAN’s will continue to redefine the business
case for advanced residential and enterprise services,
confirming Bezeq’s leading position in Israel’s digital future.”
