Gigabit broadband becomes economic growth
catalyst for job creation, revitalized education, improved
healthcare and municipal services
ADTRAN®, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation networking solutions, today announced as part of
its Enabling Communities, Connecting Lives program, that Hilliary
Communications is deploying ADTRAN’s Gigabit services architecture
across Oklahoma and north central Texas. Having already deployed
Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services based on ADTRAN’s broadband
platform, Hilliary Communications will now be offering higher rate,
premium Gigabit services for residential and business
customers.
The launch of Hilliary Communications’ FTTH service a few years
ago brought connectivity to thousands of households in remote
communities—some of which were isolated within a nature wildlife
refuge and others within an Indian reservation territory. Hilliary
Communications is building out its infrastructure to deliver
ultra-fast Gigabit broadband to support IP telephony, HDTV and
business Ethernet services, as well as consumer driven applications
like over-the-top (OTT) video. Hilliary Communications expects
Gigabit service delivery to become an economic catalyst to provide
new opportunities for these rural communities.
“When we first deployed our FTTH service, many of our customers
had access to high-speed broadband for the first time and it
changed the way they were able to communicate with the rest of the
world. Seeing the impact of that initial investment has given us
great confidence that Gigabit broadband will have a similar effect
and will create new economic opportunities for our community,” said
Eddie Hilliary, president, Hilliary Communications. “ADTRAN has
been with us every step of the way and its FTTH portfolio is
perfectly suited to help us transition to Gigabit service
delivery.”
“There is a real opportunity for service providers to look ahead
and anticipate what their communities will need to be economically
competitive over the next decade. With service providers, like
Hilliary Communications, taking a forward-thinking approach and
deploying Gigabit services, residents of rural communities will
have an economic advantage that can dramatically impact the future
of their community,” said Mitch Fleming, regional vice president,
sales, ADTRAN Carrier Networks Division. “ADTRAN’s Gigabit
service architecture delivers the flexibility and scalability
Hilliary Communications needs to make these services a
reality.”
ADTRAN’s Enabling Communities, Connecting Lives program
showcases how innovative technologies are being used in cities,
towns and communities across the country to support economic growth
and urban development. These communities are using ADTRAN’s
world-class Gigabit broadband, Wi-Fi and Cloud service offerings to
re-invigorate downtown business and residential districts, connect
classrooms with other learning centers around the world, and help
attract new companies seeking to relocate out of crowded urban
centers.
