ADTRAN made three related announcements at NXTcomm that expand its Total Access 5000 family. The Total Access 5006 offers all the functionality of the larger 5000 series in a smaller form-factor. The Total Access 1124P Outside Plant (OSP) gateway extends the delivery of broadband multimedia and POTS to any customer over a single phone line. ADTRAN’s FastBreak solution complements the Total Access 5000 Ethernet over Copper/TDM applications by enabling operators to leverage existing infrastructure to provide ubiquitous Ethernet service delivery. Slightly positive on ADTRAN’s announcements at NXTcomm, because they address key service provider pain points such as migrating networks to Ethernet services and extending broadband coverage to enable triple play while leveraging existing infrastructure to optimize CapEx and OpEx savings. The NXTcomm announcements are also well timed with service provider CapEx inflection points, enabling ADTRAN to join rival first movers as a key supplier of next generation access technologies.
