ADTRAN Expands Total Access 5000 Family with Small Form-Factor Platform.Total Access 5006 Paves Way for Next-Gen Services in Low to Medium Line Density Environments HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- ADTRAN([R]), Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ADTN ADTN Administrative Data Transmission Network ADTN Administrative Data Telecommunications Network ), a leading supplier of next-generation network solutions, today announced the Total Access([R]) 5006 Multi-Service Access and Aggregation Platform (MSAP (MultiService Access Platform) An integration device located on a carrier's premises that supports a variety of protocols. It acts like a central switch between all of the customer's communications technologies and the carrier side, which is the PSTN, the ). The Total Access 5006 offers a pure Ethernet core with all of the functionality of the larger Total Access 5000 Series, but only in a smaller form factor. The Total Access 5006 is ideally suited for low to medium line count environments and has been designed to enable retrofit for existing cabinets. The Total Access 5006 provides both next generation and legacy service interfaces, easily supporting even the most bandwidth intensive applications. It provides a scalable architecture that is designed to migrate with the network, providing flexible copper and fiber termination options. The Total Access 5006 offers flexible connectivity options into core networks, offering both Ethernet and ATM network uplinks. The platform also includes support for 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 VoIP switches. Its ability to convert traditional voice and legacy data to IP provides carriers with a platform that seamlessly integrates with next generation network standards. "The Total Access 5006 addresses an underserved market by allowing carriers to cost-effectively reach customers in lower-density service areas," said Eric Vallone, director of product management, ADTRAN Carrier Networks Division. "The Total Access 5006 provides carriers with the unique ability to offer voice, data, and video services in areas where traditional multi-service access options are not viable due to economic, size, power or functionality obstacles." "Carriers must find a way to deliver triple-play services to their entire customer base in an efficient and cost effective manner. The ability to use existing resources is paramount," said Teresa Mastrangelo, principal analyst, Broadband Trends. "The Total Access 5006 is an ideal solution for service providers wishing to extend their reach into remote areas. It allows them to use existing cabinets and infrastructure to offer an abundance of services with minimal capital expenditure." The Total Access 5006 provides up to 144 ports in a five rack-unit-high hardened chassis. It can utilize any existing or future line card developed for the Total Access 5000. It supports a wide range of network applications including IP DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. , Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC), Fiber to the Node Fiber to the node (FTTN), also called fiber to the neighborhood or fiber to the cabinet (FTTCab),[1] is a telecommunication architecture based on fiber-optic cables run to a cabinet serving a neighborhood. (FTTN (Fiber To The Neighborhood or Fiber To The Node) See FTTC. ), Fiber to the Premises Fiber to the premises (FTTP) is a form of fiber-optic communication delivery in which an optical fiber is run directly onto the customers' premises. This contrasts with other fiber-optic communication delivery strategies such as fiber to the node (FTTN), fiber to the curb (FTTP), Metro Ethernet services, and network aggregation. Key global, standards-based technologies, such as Ethernet in the First Mile Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM), also known as IEEE 802.3ah, is a collection of protocols specified in IEEE 802.3, defining the Ethernet in the Access networks, i.e. First/Last Mile. (EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) Using Ethernet to provide connectivity from the customer to the carrier. See 802.3ah. ), ADSL2+, VDSL2, eSHDSL, Resilient Packet Ring See RPR. (RPR), Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3), and Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) will be available. The Total Access 5006 is supported by ADTRAN's Total Access Element Management System (EMS) for integrated operational support. This industry-proven system utilizes an all-Java architecture to provide configuration, performance, network assurance, accounting, and security functions for the ADTRAN Total Access[R] and OPTI([R]) systems, and MX products.
