According to the "2005 Microwave Radio Point-to-Point Market Share Report, Q4 2005" ADTRAN now holds at least 28% of the worldwide market for unlicensed 5 GHz and under, up from only 17% one year ago. The company attributes the rapid growth to its successful penetration of the wireless carrier market. Today, ADTRAN's TRACER tracer, an identifiable substance used to follow the course of a physical, chemical, or biological process. In chemistry the ideal tracer has the same chemical properties as the molecule it replaces and undergoes the same reactions but can at all times be detectible (R) products are deployed by all of the Tier 1, and many Tier 2 and Tier 3 wireless service providers in the U.S., as well as several global service providers. "ADTRAN has shown impressive growth in the license-free wireless market over the past year," said Emmy Johnson, Principal Analyst, Sky Light Research. "ADTRAN's jump to the leading position is a reflection of its focused efforts of capitalizing on the growth in the wireless carrier market and meeting the market's need for license-free wireless solutions with its TRACER family of products." "We have seen continuing growth in the demand for our TRACER products," said Dan Pritchett, director of wireless products, ADTRAN Enterprise Networks Division. "TRACER, coupled with our MX Series of multiplexers and aggregation devices, and NetVanta switches, routers, and security appliances Security appliances protect computer networks from unwanted data traffic, intruders, email spam, enforce policies, and may also be used to create and manage VPNs. There are a number of types of security appliances. , provides wireless carriers with the industry-proven, cost-effective solutions they need to address wireless backhaul applications." The TRACER 6000 Series is the industry's first modular wireless solution offering user-configurable TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. and Ethernet functionality in a single, 1U-chassis. The newly released, higher-transmit power versions of the TRACER 6420 and TRACER 6410 radios allow wireless carriers to maximize distance, while utilizing smaller, more cost-effective antennas. TRACER coupled with other ADTRAN equipment offers advanced models of efficiency in the signaling, transport and access portions of the network. This line complements ADTRAN's TRACER 4000 Series of fixed-port dual, quad, octal A numbering system that uses eight digits. It is used as a shorthand method for representing binary characters that use six-bits. Each three bits (half a character) is converted into a single octal digit. Okta is Greek for 8. , and DS3 radios. TRACER is also complemented by ADTRAN's MX family of wireless access solutions. The MX platforms include DS1/DS0 bandwidth management Controlling the traffic flow in a network. See bandwidth manager. and wireless backhaul devices that ease the wireless carriers' network transition from TDM and ATM to Ethernet and IP. The MX410 and 412 address wireless carriers' need for efficient bandwidth utilization. They deliver full DS0 control to service locations, allowing complete utilization of DS1 bandwidth. The MX3208 and 3216 allow carriers to drop/insert a high number of DS1s without the need for back-to-back M13 multiplexers. These products enable evolution of the radio access network to offer ATM, Ethernet and IP capabilities. ADTRAN's family of wireless access solutions, used in conjunction with ADTRAN Integrated Access Devices An IAD is a customer premises device that provides access to wide area networks and the Internet. Specifically, it aggregates multiple channels of information including voice and data across a single shared access link to a carrier or service provider PoP (Point of Presence). (IADs), switches, routers, firewall/security devices, and Optical Multiplexers have application across wireless carrier networks. These products permit wireless carriers to reduce capital expenditures, maximize backhaul efficiency, and expand service capacity, while successfully positioning networks for 3G and advanced data service offerings. The TRACER and MX products are currently shipping and are readily available for purchase.
