HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- ADTRAN®, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN - News), a leading supplier of next-generation networking solutions, today announced the availability of a new wide range of solutions for the Total Access® 5000 Multi-Service Access Platform (MSAP) targeted at delivering advanced video services. These new solutions are optimized for Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) and Fiber to the Node (FTTN) architectures, enabling the ultra-high bandwidth speeds required to support even the most demanding video applications. With these new solutions, the Total Access 5000 further solidifies its position as the industry's leading Ethernet-based MSAP.

Service providers are faced with the challenge of transforming their existing networks to provide advanced services, enabling not only voice and broadband connections to the Internet, but also higher-revenue services like video. The dynamics of these services are constantly evolving, making it difficult to identify the optimal network architecture. The strength of the Total Access 5000 is in its support for both FTTP and FTTN architectures, allowing service providers to eliminate the decision around the “right architecture” and use a single platform for both fiber and copper delivery.

“Our customers depend on the availability of our services and our ability to meet their bandwidth requirements,” said Dan Steinike, plant supervisor, Wilson Communications. “The Total Access 5000 is one of the most flexible platforms on the market today. With the addition of these new video-oriented solutions, we know that we can deliver a high-bandwidth, high-availability access network architecture—regardless of whether we need to deliver those solutions over copper or fiber facilities.”
