ADTRAN Inc. released a flurry of news this week, including an announcement about its new Total Access 1100F solution for IPTV, a new family of Total Access IADs, a new wireless muxes, and more.
The Total Access 1100F enables IPTV and deep fiber connectivity for ADTRAN’s Total Access OSP and Mini-DSLAMs by providing standard gigabit Ethernet connections, content security and Ethernet aggregation. David Williams, market manager for the carrier networks division, says ADTRAN is suggesting that customers “put it in video range” so that they can use the device for Internet access today but are ready to go with video when the time is right.
ADTRAN’s new family of IADs is called the Total Access 900 Series. The CPE-based products allow ILECs and CLECs to cost-effectively offer VoIP while support customers’ legacy equipment. Acording to In-Stat, although integrated IP voice and data transport is widespread, more than 40 percent of small and medium enterprises and 29 percent of small businesses favor a hybrid TDM/IP voice solution.
The 900 Series products, which range in price from $1,450 to $1,825 list depending on the model, can act as a registrar for IP phones and as a Back-to-Back User Agent to provide survivability and NAT traversal in case of an outage.
On the multiplexer front, ADTRAN three wireless mux solutions that allow both traditional voice and IP data services. The MX3112 enables Ethernet migration from traditional TDM voice circuits to EV-DO or HSDPA data services. When paired with the OPTI-6100 in the CO, the MX3112 allows for Ethernet backhaul across existing transport. The MX3208/3216 drop-and-insert muxes lower wireless carriers recurring cost by maximizing use of their wireline or microwave connections. It permits a single DS3 to be shared among multiple cell sites and is available in eight and 16 drop port DS1 models.
The MX410, meanwhile, is a DS1/0 grooming solution for bandwidth management and remote access among multiple cell sites.
Finally, the OPTI-6000 optical mux now supports enhanced Ethernet, and both SONET and SDH.
