ADTRAN last week announced the expansion of its SDX series of open and disaggregated network elements with a new carrier-grade SD-Access solution.
The new ADTRAN SDX solutions recently added include the following elements:
- ADTRAN SDX 6320 Combo PON OLT – the industry’s first virtual OLT to integrate Combo PON functionality. Supports deployment from central office/exchange or remote cabinet locations.
- ADTRAN SDX 6312 Sealed Combo PON OLT – provides the same feature set as the 6320 in a passively-cooled, pole/strand-mount form factor.
- ADTRAN SDX 620 series of 10G micro ONTs – provides multi-gigabit service capability in a more cost-effective and elegant design to better address mass-market residential and enterprise service deployment needs.
- ADTRAN SDX 8305 multi-terabit aggregation switch – 2 Tbps Ethernet aggregation switch with horizontal scalability to address the highest demands for Nx100GE connectivity in traditional central office/exchange locations.
According to ADTRAN , the entire ADTRAN SDX series of programmable network elements natively support modern interfaces and data models, such as NETCONF/YANG, allowing them to be managed by any open access domain SDN controller and orchestrator or the ADTRAN Mosaic Cloud Platform. ADTRAN’s SDX portfolio and Mosaic Cloud Platform have been selected by leading Tier 1 operators in the US and in Europe, including Openreach in the UK and Deutsche Telekom in Germany.
